It takes two-thirds of yard of fabric to make a pillowcase. How many pillowcases can be made from 16 yards of fabric?

Effectus [21]

To get the answer we have to divide 16 yards by 2/3. When we are trying to divide number by fraction we can multiply that number by inverse of that fraction. Lets do this
$16: \frac{2}{3} =16* \frac{3}{2}= \frac{16*3}{2} = \frac{48}{2}=48:2=24$ - its the answer
