Question

2 mr. bakshi has 7 yards of fabric. he uses 2 1/2 yards to make a blanket and wants to make scarves with the remaining fabric. if he needs 3/4 yard of fabric to make one scarf, how many scarves can he make in all?

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate remaining fabric

$7 - 2\frac{1}{2} = 7 - \frac{5}{2} = \frac{14}{2} - \frac{5}{2} = \frac{9}{2}$ yards

Step2: Divide by scarf fabric need

$\frac{9}{2} \div \frac{3}{4} = \frac{9}{2} \times \frac{4}{3} = \frac{36}{6} = 6$

Answer:

6
