Question

Manuel has 18 yards of fabric to make table runners. It takes Three-fourths of a yard to make each runner. The expression that represents the amount of fabric left after making t table runners is 18 minus three-fourths t. Which are possible numbers of table runners that Manuel could make? Select three options. 20 22 24 26 28.

Answer 1

Inequality helps in comparison. The possible number of table runners that Manuel could make is 20, 22, and 24.

What is Inequality?

Inequality helps us to compare two unequal expressions to form an equation.

Given to us

Left over cloth = 18 - (3/4)t

In the given equation, t shows the number of table runners that can be made with 18 yards of fabric.

As the total amount of fabric that is used for making must not be more than 18 yards, we can write the equation as,

$\frac{3}{4}t \leq 18$

solving it for t,

$t \leq 18 \times \dfrac{4}{3}\\\\t \leq 24$

Thus, the number of tables runner that can be made with 18 yards of cloth such that the size of the table runner is $\frac{3}{4} t$ must be equal to less than 24.

Hence, the possible number of table runners that Manuel could make is 20, 22, and 24.
