To determine how many dresses Jhonny can make, you divide the total amount of fabric he has by the amount of fabric each dress requires.
Jhonny has 4 yards of fabric and each dress uses \( \frac{4}{5} \) yards.
To find out how many dresses he can make, you can perform the following calculation:
\[
\text{Number of dresses} = \frac{\text{Total fabric}}{\text{Fabric per dress}} = \frac{4}{\frac{4}{5}}
\]
To divide by a fraction, you multiply by its reciprocal:
\[
\frac{4}{\frac{4}{5}} = 4 \times \frac{5}{4} = \frac{4 \times 5}{4} = 5
\]
So, Jhonny can make **5 dresses**.
