Answer 1

3 table cloths 10 yards fabric
------------------ = --------------------
1 table cloth x

Then 3x = 10, and x = 3 1/3 yards of fabric per tablecloth.

Answer 2

If he will be making each tablecloth of equal size, then they will be 3 1/3 yards each, also could be shown as 10 feet, because 10 ÷ 3 = 3 1/3.
