Question

Scott is making costumes for a dance recital. He has 12 yards of purple fabric. Each costume uses 3/4 yard of purple fabric. How many costumes can Scott make?

Answer 1

Answer:

The number of costumes Scott makes is 16.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that the number of costume Scott makes be x.

As given

Scott is making costumes for a dance recital. He has 12 yards of purple fabric.

$Each\ costume\ uses\ \frac{3}{4}\ yard\ of\ purple\ fabric.$

Than the equation becomes

$\frac{3\times x}{4} = 12$

$\frac{12\times 4}{3} = x$

Simplify the above

$4 \times 4 = x$

x = 16

Therefore the number of costumes Scott make be 16 .
