Answer:

How many yards to make one dress? = 1.33

Explanation:

This is a ratio problem (fractions) used to solve an unknown.

if 200yds makes 150 dresses then let x (your unknown) be the yds needed to make 1 dress.

200/150 = x/1

150*x = 200*1

150x = 200

150x/150 = 200/150

x = 200/150

x = 1.33333
