To make one costume, Rachel uses 6 yards of material and 3 yards of trim. Suppose she uses a total of 48 yards of material to make several costumes. How. Many yards of trim does she use? Write the rule you used to find the number of yards of trim.
x/3 = 48/6
joe mama hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
wow thanks
To find the number of yards of trim Rachel uses, we can use a simple rule based on the ratio of material to trim.
The ratio of material to trim is 6:3, which simplifies to 2:1. This means that for every 2 yards of material used, Rachel uses 1 yard of trim.
Now, let's apply this rule to find the number of yards of trim Rachel uses when she uses a total of 48 yards of material.
Since the ratio is 2:1, we divide the total yards of material by 2 to get the number of units of 2 yards. In this case, 48 yards divided by 2 equals 24 units of 2 yards.
Finally, since each unit of 2 yards requires 1 yard of trim, we multiply the number of units (24) by 1 to get the number of yards of trim Rachel uses.
Therefore, Rachel uses 24 yards of trim to make several costumes.
