Martin uses 3/5 yard of fabric to make 1 backpack. How many backpacks can Martin make if he has a total of 9 yards of fabric?(1 point) backpacks
To find the number of backpacks Martin can make, we divide the total yards of fabric by the amount of fabric used to make one backpack.
9 yards of fabric / 3/5 yards per backpack = (9/1) * (5/3) = 45/3 = <<(9/1)*(5/3)=15>>15 backpacks.
Therefore, Martin can make 15 backpacks with 9 yards of fabric.
To figure out how many backpacks Martin can make with 9 yards of fabric, we need to divide the total amount of fabric (9 yards) by the amount of fabric used to make 1 backpack (3/5 yard).
Here's how you can calculate it:
Step 1: Convert the fraction 3/5 to a decimal by dividing the numerator (3) by the denominator (5):
3 ÷ 5 = 0.6
Step 2: Divide the total amount of fabric (9 yards) by the amount of fabric used to make 1 backpack (0.6 yard):
9 ÷ 0.6 = 15
Therefore, Martin can make 15 backpacks using 9 yards of fabric.
To find out how many backpacks Martin can make with 9 yards of fabric, we need to calculate the number of backpacks per yard first.
Martin uses 3/5 yard of fabric to make 1 backpack.
So, the number of backpacks that can be made from 1 yard of fabric can be calculated as:
backpacks = 1 / (3/5)
backpacks = 5/3
Now, to find out how many backpacks can be made from 9 yards of fabric, we can multiply the number of backpacks per yard by the total yards of fabric:
backpacks = (5/3) * 9
backpacks = 45/3
backpacks = 15
Therefore, Martin can make 15 backpacks with a total of 9 yards of fabric.
