Answer:
13 costumes
Step-by-step explanation:
The amount of fabric used is the product of the amount per costume and the number of costumes.
A = na . . . . . A = total area; n = number of costumes; 'a' = area per costume
46 2/3 = n(3 1/2)
n = (46 2/3)/(3 1/2) = (140/3)/(7/2) = (140/3)(2/7) = 40/3 = 13 1/3
Apparently there is some waste, as Emerson used more fabric than necessary to make 13 costumes.
