Question

Four balls of wool make 8 knitted caps how much many balls of wool will Malcom

Answer 1

First write down what you know:

- 4 balls of wool = 8 caps

Next, try to set up an equation.

4 balls of wool / 8 caps = x number of wool balls per cap

Then solve,

4/8 = 1/2

So you need 1/2 of a ball of wool to make 1 cap.

Then you multiply 1/2 by 6 to get 3.

You will need 3 balls to make 6 caps.

Hope this helps! Have a good day/night! c:
