Judy has 3/4 yards of yarn. For each scarf she makes, she needs 1/2 yards of yarn. Does she have enough fabric to make 2 scarfs? I say no because

3/4 divided by 1/2 = 1 1/2 am I right

You're right.

correct.

Thank You so much Miss Sue and Steve

Have a Merry Christmas :)

You're welcome, Libby. And Merry Christmas to you, too.

To determine if Judy has enough yarn to make 2 scarfs, we need to compare the amount of yarn she has (3/4 yards) with the amount of yarn required to make 2 scarfs.

To find out how much yarn is required for 2 scarfs, we multiply the amount of yarn needed for each scarf (1/2 yards) by the number of scarfs (2):
1/2 yards/scarf * 2 scarfs = 1 yard

So, Judy needs 1 yard of yarn to make 2 scarfs.

Next, we compare the amount of yarn she has (3/4 yards) with the amount of yarn required (1 yard).

To do this, we need to convert 3/4 yards to a common denominator with 1 yard. Both fractions need to have the same denominator.

Since 1 yard is equivalent to 4/4 yards (since 1 is the same as 4/4), we can rewrite 3/4 yards as 3/4 * 4/4 yards:
(3/4) * (4/4) = 12/16 yards

Now, we can compare the amounts:
12/16 yards > 1 yard

Since 12/16 yards is greater than 1 yard, Judy has enough yarn to make 2 scarfs. Therefore, your statement that she does not have enough is incorrect.
