GPT 3.5
To find the number of scarves Angela can crochet, we need to divide the total yards of yarn by the amount of yarn needed for each scarf.

Number of scarves = Total yards of yarn / Yards of yarn needed per scarf
Number of scarves = 324 yards / 20 1/4 yards
Number of scarves = (324*4) / (20 + 1/4)
Number of scarves = 1296 / (80/4 + 1/4)
Number of scarves = 1296 / (81/4)
Number of scarves = 1296 * (4/81)
Number of scarves = 2592/81
Number of scarves ≈ 32

Therefore, Angela can crochet approximately 32 scarves with the given amount of yarn.

The answer is D) 32 scarves.
