it take 1 3/8 yards of material to make one shirt.how many shirts can be made from 16 1/2 yards of material? 1]1 2]3 [ 3] 6 [4] 12 5] 24

16 1/2 = 33/2

1 3/8 = 11/8

33/2 ÷ 11/8 = 33/2 * 8/11 = 264/22 = 12

Well, it seems like you're trying to make a fashion statement with a lot of shirts! Let's do some math, clown style.

To find out how many shirts can be made, we'll divide the total yardage of material by the amount needed for one shirt.

So, 16 1/2 yards divided by 1 3/8 yards is like handing over a big pie to a bunch of clowns with tiny appetites.

Doing the division, we get:

16.5 / 1.375 = 12.

Looks like there's enough material to make 12 shirts! So, option 4 is the right answer. Let's get those shirts stitched and styled because you'll have enough to wear a different one every day of the week (plus a few extras for emergencies)! Enjoy your fashion extravaganza!

To find out how many shirts can be made from 16 1/2 yards of material, we need to divide the total amount of material by the amount of material required for each shirt.

The amount of material required for one shirt is given as 1 3/8 yards.

To add these fractions, we need a common denominator. In this case, the least common denominator is 8.

Converting 1 to its fraction form with a denominator of 8 gives us 8/8. So 1 3/8 is equal to (8/8 + 3/8) which is 11/8.

Now, we can divide 16 1/2 yards of material by 11/8 yards per shirt:

16 1/2 ÷ 11/8

To divide fractions, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction:

16 1/2 × (8/11)

To simplify the fraction, we can also convert the mixed number to an improper fraction:

33/2 × 8/11

Now, multiply across:

(33 × 8) / (2 × 11) = 264/22

Simplifying the fraction by dividing the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 22, gives us:

264/22 = 12

Therefore, 12 shirts can be made from 16 1/2 yards of material.

So, the answer is [4] 12.

To find out how many shirts can be made from 16 1/2 yards of material, you need to divide the total amount of material by the amount needed for each shirt.

First, let's convert the mixed fraction of 1 3/8 yards to an improper fraction. To do that, multiply the whole number (1) by the denominator (8), and add the numerator (3) to the result. This gives us: (1 * 8 + 3)/8 = 11/8 yards.

Now, we can calculate how many shirts can be made from 16 1/2 yards of material by dividing the total material by the material needed for each shirt.

Convert 16 1/2 yards to an improper fraction: (16 * 2 + 1)/2 = 33/2 yards.

Divide 33/2 yards by 11/8 yards:

(33/2) ÷ (11/8) = (33/2) * (8/11) = (33 * 8) / (2 * 11) = 264/22 = 12 shirts.

Therefore, the answer is [4] 12 shirts can be made from 16 1/2 yards of material.
