Question

Christopher just found beautiful yarn for 20% off at his favorite yarn store. He can make one scarf from 2/3 of a ball of yarn. If Christopher buys 12 balls of yarn, how many scarves can he make?

Answer 1

16

Explanation:

if 2/3 is used by one scarf, then we can divide 2/3 into 12

12/1 × 2/3

12/1 ×3/2= 36/2

36/2= 16
