1
2
-yard strips. How many strips will Maria have for her project?
A) 9 strips
B) 10 strips
C) 12 strips
D) 15 strips
It is 10 strips
Do you mean 1/2-yard strips?
what is the question
To find the number of strips Maria will have for her project, we need to divide the total length of fabric (5 yards) by the length of each strip (1/2 yard).
To do this, we can use the following formula:
Number of strips = Total length of fabric / Length of each strip
Plugging in the values:
Number of strips = 5 yards / 1/2 yard
Number of strips = 5 yards × 2 yards/1 yard
Number of strips = 10 strips
Therefore, Maria will have 10 strips for her project.
The correct answer is B) 10 strips.
