Question

Ali uses 27 feet of fabric to make 48 doll dresses she uses the same amount of fabric to make is just how many yards of the fabric did dress?

Answer 1

To convert feet to yards, you need to divide by 3, since there are 3 feet in 1 yard. So, to find out how many yards of fabric Ali used to make one doll dress, you can divide the total amount of fabric used (27 feet) by the number of doll dresses made (48):

27 feet ÷ 48 = 0.5625 feet per dress

Now, to convert this to yards, you can divide by 3:

0.5625 feet per dress ÷ 3 feet per yard = 0.1875 yards per dress

Therefore, Ali used approximately 0.1875 yards of fabric to make one doll dress.
