57 sweaters can be made from 173.4 meters of fabric

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Total fabric available = 173.4 meters

Fabric used for one sweater = 3 meters

Let,

x be the number of sweaters.

Fabric used for one sweater * Number of sweaters ≤ Total fabric available

$3x\leq 173.4$

Dividing both sides by 3

$\frac{3x}{3}\leq \frac{173.4}{3}\\x\leq 57.8$

57 sweaters can be made from 173.4 meters of fabric
