Question

Jenny has a piece of fabric that is 1 1/2 yards long

She cuts the fabric into 4 equal sized pieces

She uses 1 of the pieces to make small pillows for her sisters dolls

Each pillow is 3/16 yard long.

How many pillows did Jenny make

1/2

2

3

8

Answer 1

To find out how many pillows Jenny made, we need to divide the total length of the fabric by the length of each pillow.

The total length of the fabric is 1 1/2 yards, or 3/2 yards.

The length of each pillow is 3/16 yard.

Dividing the total length of the fabric by the length of each pillow, we get:

(3/2) ÷ (3/16) = (3/2) × (16/3) = 8/2 = 4

Therefore, Jenny made 4 pillows. The answer is 4.
