Question

Manual wants to sue some backpacks He has 8 yards of fabric and each backpack uses two over three yard of fabric to make how many backpacks can manual make

Answer 1

To find out how many backpacks Manual can make, you need to divide the total amount of fabric he has by the amount of fabric needed for each backpack.

Manual has 8 yards of fabric, and each backpack uses \( \frac{2}{3} \) yard of fabric.

The calculation is as follows:

\[
\text{Number of backpacks} = \frac{\text{Total fabric}}{\text{Fabric per backpack}} = \frac{8}{\frac{2}{3}}
\]

To divide by a fraction, you can multiply by its reciprocal:

\[
\frac{8}{\frac{2}{3}} = 8 \times \frac{3}{2} = \frac{8 \times 3}{2} = \frac{24}{2} = 12
\]

So, Manual can make **12 backpacks**.
