1080 clothespins makes 90 chairs and we need to find out how many clothespins it takes to make 1 chair.
We can set up a proportion of the number of chairs to the number of clothespins because of the proportional relationship.
x is the number of clothes pins for 1 chair
Cross multiply to get
90*x= 1080*1
Divide both sides by 90 to isolate x
x = 12 clothespins
It takes 12 clothespins to make 1 chair.
