Question

A tailor used 6 2/3 yards of fabric to make hats. The amount of fabric needed to make each hat is 5/6 yard. How many complete hats did the tailor make?

Answer 1

Answer: The tailor made 8 complete hats

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount of fabrics available to make hat = 6 2/3 yards

1 hat requires = 5/6 yards

Number of hat to obtain from the available fabric = Amount of fabrics available to make hat / requirement of 1 hat

=(6 2/3) / (5/6)

(20/3) / (5/6)

20/3 x 6/5 = cancelling out, we are left with

4x2= 8 hats

or

(20/3) / (5/6)

6.6666 /0.83333

= 8.00002= 8 hats
