12 yards / yards per costume = costumes
Since the question does not provide the number of yards per costume, it is not possible to determine how many costumes Scott can make.
To calculate the number of costumes that Scott can make, we need to divide the total yards of purple fabric by the amount of fabric needed for each costume.
