Question

To make each costume, Rachel uses 6 yards of material and 3 yards of trim. Suppose she uses a total of 48 yard of material to make several costumes. How many yards of trim does she use? Writhe the rule you used to find the number of yards of trim.

Answer 1

24 yards of trim

Explanation:

One costume uses 6 yards of material, and she has used 48 yards. So by dividing 48 by 6 you can identify the number of costumes she has made.

One costume needs 3 yards of trim, so take the number of costumes she has made that you calculated above, and multiply by 3.

48 ÷ 6 = 8

8 x 3 = 24

Therefore she will use 24 yards of trim
