A seamstress uses 3/4 yards of material to make a uniform top for band members. If there are 6 3/4 yards of material left on the bolt, how many uniform tops can she make?

Answer :

Answer:

She can make 9 uniform tops from the material left.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Yards of material left on the bolt = [tex]6\frac{3}{4}[/tex]

Material requirement for a uniform top for band members = [tex]\frac{3}{4}\ yd[/tex]

To find the number of tops that can be made from the material left.

Solution:

In order to find the number of tops that can be made from [tex]6\frac{3}{4}[/tex] yards of material, we need to divide [tex]6\frac{3}{4}\ yd[/tex]  by  [tex]\frac{3}{4}\ yd[/tex].

Number of uniform tops that can be made is given as:

⇒ [tex]6\frac{3}{4}\div \frac{3}{4}[/tex]

We first convert mixed number to fractions.

⇒  [tex]\frac{27}{4}\div \frac{3}{4}[/tex]

To divide fractions the fractions are multiplied after flipping the divisor.

⇒ [tex]\frac{27}{4}\times \frac{4}{3}[/tex]

⇒ [tex]\frac{27}{3}[/tex]

⇒ 9

Thus, she can make 9 uniform tops from the material left.
