Scott is making costumes for a dance recital he has 12 yards of purple fabric each costume uses 3/4 yard of purple fabric how many costumes can scott make
Scott can make 16 costumes.
To find this, we need to divide the total amount of fabric (12 yards) by the amount of fabric needed for each costume (3/4 yard).
12 yards ÷ 3/4 yard per costume = 12 ÷ 3/4 =
12 ÷ (3/4) =
12 × (4/3) =
48/3 = 16.
