Reggie is making doll clothes for his little sister. He has 3 yards of fabric. If each dress uses 3/8 yard of fabric, how many dresses can he make

Answer 1

To find the number of dresses that Reggie can make, we divide the total length of fabric by the fabric required for each dress.

Total length of fabric = 3 yards
Fabric required for one dress = 3/8 yard

Number of dresses = Total length of fabric / Fabric required for one dress
Number of dresses = 3 yards / (3/8) yard
Number of dresses = 3 yards * (8/3) yard
Number of dresses = (3*8) / 3
Number of dresses = 24/3
Number of dresses = <<24/3=8>>8

Therefore, Reggie can make 8 dresses for his little sister.
