Question

Lisa is making reusable shopping bags. She has 3.6 yards of fabric. She needs 0.3 yard of fabric for each bag. How many shopping bags can she make from the 3.6 yards of fabric? Solve and explain.

Answer 1

Lisa can make 12 shopping bags out of 3.6 yards of fabric. Since she needs 0.3 for each bag then you’ll just have to divide and get the answer and without dividing you can tell that the answer is 12 because 3x36 is actually 12.
