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?(1 point)

Answer 1

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

The total amount of fabric Manuel has is 8 yards, and each backpack requires 2/3 yard of fabric.

So, to find out how many backpacks he can make, we divide 8 by 2/3.

8 ÷ (2/3) = 8 * (3/2) = 12

Therefore, Manuel can make 12 backpacks.
