Sam :3 is correct!
To find out how many backpacks Manuel can make, we need to divide the total amount of fabric he has by the amount of fabric each backpack uses.
Total fabric / Fabric per backpack = Number of backpacks
In this case, Manuel has a total of 8 yards of fabric, and each backpack uses 2/3 yard of fabric.
8 yards / (2/3) yards/backpack = 8 * (3/2) backpacks
Simplifying this expression:
8 * (3/2) = 24/2 = 12 backpacks
Therefore, Manuel can make 12 backpacks.
