Question

Brittney has 2 and 3/4 yards of fabric. She wants to make wreaths that require 1/8 yards. What is the maximum number of wreaths she can make?

Answer 1

Answer: 22

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Brittney has 2 and  $\frac{3}{4}$ yards of fabric

Converting it to a fraction

$\Rightarrow 2\ \dfrac{3}{4}=\dfrac{8+3}{4}\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{11}{4}$

Wreath require $\frac{1}{8}$ yards

Number of wreaths that can be made

$\Rightarrow n=\dfrac{\frac{11}{4}}{\frac{1}{8}}\\\\\Rightarrow n=\dfrac{11}{4}\times \dfrac{8}{1}\\\\\Rightarrow n=22$

She can make 22 wreaths
