You are given 15.30 m of fabric for making flags. About how many can you make from the fabric if each flag is half a metre wide?
15.3 / 0.5 = 30.6 so 30
because 0.6 of a flag will not fly.
To determine the number of flags that can be made from the given fabric, we need to divide the total length of the fabric by the width of each flag.
Given:
Total fabric length = 15.30 m
Flag width = 0.50 m
To find the number of flags, we can use the formula:
Number of flags = Total fabric length / Flag width
Plugging in the values:
Number of flags = 15.30 m / 0.50 m
Simplifying:
Number of flags = 30.6
Since we can't have a fraction of a flag, we need to round down to the nearest whole number. Thus, we can make approximately 30 flags from the given fabric.
To find out how many flags can be made from the given fabric, we need to divide the total length of the fabric by the width of each flag.
Given:
Length of fabric = 15.30 meters
Width of each flag = 0.5 meters
To find the number of flags that can be made, we divide the total length of the fabric by the width of each flag:
Number of flags = Length of fabric / Width of each flag
Number of flags = 15.30 meters / 0.5 meters
To divide these two numbers, we can perform the following calculation:
Number of flags = 30.6
However, since we can't have fractions of a flag, we need to round the value to the nearest whole number.
Rounding the number of flags, we get:
Number of flags ≈ 31
Therefore, approximately 31 flags can be made from the given fabric.
