Reggie is making doll clothes for his little sister. He has 3 yards of fabric. If each dress uses 3/8 yards of fabric, how many dresses can he makes?

1 answer

To find out how many dresses Reggie can make, we need to divide the total amount of fabric he has by the fabric used for each dress.

3/8 yards of fabric per dress * x dresses = 3 yards of fabric.

By multiplying both sides of the equation by 8/3, we have:

(3/8) * (8/3) * x = 3 * (8/3).

This simplifies to:

x = 8.

Therefore, Reggie can make 8 dresses. Answer: \boxed{8}.
