Question

To make a dog bandana, you must have 12 inches of material. You are making several bandanas, so you buy 3 1/3 yards of material How many bandanas can you make?

Answer 1

`x=10` bandanas can be made

Explanation:

So we know that to make a dog bandana we must have 12 inches of material.

First of all we will convert yards into inches

`1 " yard "=36` Inches so `3 1/3 " yards "= x` Inches

Yard : inches
`" " 1 : 36`
`" "3 1/3:x`
`" "10/3:x`

`x = 10/3 xx 36`

`x=120` Inches

Note: `3 1/3 !=3.33`
`3 1/3` is exact while `3.33` has been rounded off from the recurring decimal #3.33333333..

Now we will calculate how many bandanas `120` Inches can make:

Bandana : amount
`" "1:12`
`" "x:120`

`" "x=10`
