Answer 2

2 T-shirts can be used using orange dye.

Explanation:

Given : To tie-dye one T-shirt,
`(3)/(8)` cup of dye is needed. Orange dye is
`(3)/(4)` cups.

To find : How many T-shirts can be made using orange dye?

Solution :

Let 'x' T-shirts can be made using orange dye.

Total orange dye is
`(3)/(4)` cups.

Cup of dye needed for 1 shirt is
`(3)/(8)` cup

For number of cup needed for x shirt is
`(3)/(8)x` cup

i.e.
`(3)/(8)x=(3)/(4)`

`x=(3* 8)/(4* 3)`

`x=2`

Therefore, 2 T-shirts can be used using orange dye.
