Question 642069: it takes 7 yards of material to make 3 jackets. You brought 15 yards of material to make 7 jackets. Did you buy the right amount of material? if not, how much over or under where you? explain Found 2 solutions by josmiceli, solver91311:Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! ( 7 yds ) / ( 3 jackets ) = (7/3) yds / ( 1 jacket )
To make 7 jackets,
You need 16 and 1/3 yards of material to
make 7 jackets, so 15 yds is not enough
Divide 7 by 3 to calculate the number of yards required for each jacket. Divide 15 by 7 to calculate the number of yards you bought for each jacket. Subtract your first calculation from your second. A negative answer is under and a positive answer is over.
