Manuel wants to sew some backpacks. He has 8 yards of fabric and each backpack uses 2/3 yard of fabric to make. How many backpacks can Manuel make?

Answer 1

To find out how many backpacks Manuel can make, we need to divide the total amount of fabric he has by the amount of fabric each backpack uses.

Total fabric / Fabric per backpack = Number of backpacks

In this case, Manuel has a total of 8 yards of fabric, and each backpack uses 2/3 yard of fabric.

8 yards / (2/3) yards/backpack = 8 * (3/2) backpacks

Simplifying this expression:

8 * (3/2) = 24/2 = 12 backpacks

Therefore, Manuel can make 12 backpacks.
