Q:
if 6/7 yard of material is needed to make a blanket, how many blankets can be made from 18 yards of material?
Accepted Solution
A:
Let's work with an equation of rates (ratios):
6/7 yd material 18 yds
-------------------- = -------------------
1 blanket x
Then (6/7)x = 18, and x = (7/6)(18) = 21.
21 blankets can be made from 18 yds of material.
