Step-by-step explanation:
6 inches of yarn make 1 bracelet.
5 feet of yarn make how many bracelets?
1 foot = 12 inches
5 feet = 12 * 5 inches = 60 inches
6 inches of yarn make 1 bracelet
60 inches of yarn make x bracelets
6/1 = 60/x
Cross multiply
6x = 60
x = 10
60 inches yarn make 10 bracelets.
Subtract 3 from both sides
x/5= 3
Multiply both sides by 5
x=15
Final answer: x=15
