To find out how many scarves Angela can crochet, divide the total yards of yarn she has (324) by the amount of yarn needed for each scarf (20 ¼):
324 / 20 ¼ = 16
Therefore, Angela can crochet 16 scarves with the given amount of yarn.
To find out how many scarves Angela can crochet, we need to divide the total yards of yarn she has by the yards of yarn required for each scarf.
324 yards of yarn ÷ 20 ¼ yards per scarf = 16 scarves
Therefore, Angela can crochet 16 scarves.
To find out how many scarves Angela can crochet, we need to divide the total length of yarn she has by the length of yarn needed for each scarf.
Given:
Total yarn length = 324 yards
Yarn length needed for each scarf = 20 ¼ yards
First, let's convert 20 ¼ yards to a decimal:
1/4 yard = 0.25 yard
20 ¼ yards = 20 + 0.25 = 20.25 yards
Now we can calculate the number of scarves:
Number of scarves = Total yarn length / Yarn length needed for each scarf
Number of scarves = 324 yards / 20.25 yards
To divide these numbers, we can cancel out the units of yards:
Number of scarves = 324 / 20.25
By dividing 324 by 20.25, we find that Angela can crochet 16 scarves.
Therefore, the answer is 16 scarves.
