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.

What is the question?
Step-by-step explanation:
Step-by-step explanation:
1.) Begin by converting 2 yards into feet.
There are 6 feet in two yards, and 3 feet in one.
2.) Now that we have converted that, we can compare each length better.
3.) Take 6 feet and divide it by 10.80. You will get 0.55, or 55 cents.
4.) Now, take 12 feet and divide it by 24.60. You will get 0.48, or 48 cents.
5.) When you divide these numbers, you are seeing how many cents per foot of twine.
6.) Now, compare .55 and .48, or subtract the two. That will be 7 cents, or 0.07.
The difference is 7 cents, and 12 feet of twine for $24.60 is the better deal, as it costs less for more.
72 orders in 3 days
that means
In 3 days, the number of orders = 72
Now to find the number of orders per day, i.e number of orders in 1 day
for this divide the total number of orders with the number of days
Thus, there are 24 orders per day
Answer : 24 orders per day
