To find out how many costumes Scott can make, we need to divide the total amount of fabric he has by the amount of fabric each costume uses.
Total fabric = 12 yards
Fabric per costume = 3/4 yard
To divide 12 by 3/4, we can multiply by the reciprocal of 3/4, which is 4/3.
12 yards * (4/3 yards/1) = 48/3 = 16 costumes
Therefore, Scott can make 16 costumes with the 12 yards of fabric.
