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?(1 point)

1 answer

To find out how many dresses Reggie can make, we need to divide the total amount of fabric he has by the amount of fabric used for each dress.

Reggie's total fabric = 3 yards
Fabric used for each dress = \( \frac{3}{8} \) yard

Now, we perform the division:

\[ \text{Number of dresses} = \frac{3 \text{ yards}}{\frac{3}{8} \text{ yard/dress}} = 3 \times \frac{8}{3} = 8 \]

So, Reggie can make 8 dresses.
