The amount of fabric (f) in yards used to sew n number of shirts can be found using the equation f=3/4n
If 12 yards of fabric were used how many shirts were sewn?

Respuesta :

For this case we have the following variables:

f: The amount of fabric in yards

n: The number of shirts

The equation modeling the problem is given by:

[tex] f = \frac{3}{4}n [/tex]

For 12 yards of fabric we have:

[tex] 12 = \frac{3}{4}n [/tex]

From here, we clear the value of n.

We have then:

[tex] n = \frac{4}{3}12 [/tex]

[tex] n = 16 [/tex]

Answer:

16 shirts were sewn
