Acostume designer has 40 yards of red fabric to make costumes for a musical in which 8 performers will wear red dresses and 14 people will wear red scarves. the costume maker user 3 1/2 yds for each dress and 3/4 yard for a scarf. after making the dresses and scarves, the costume designer uses the leftover fabric to make some sashes for the dresses. if each sash uses 1/4 yard of fabric, how many sashes can be made?

Total fabric available = 40 yards

Number of dresses to be made = 8

Number of scarves to be made = 14

Amount of fabric used to make one dress =

So fabric used to make 8 dresses = yards

Amount of fabric used to make 1 scarf =

Fabric used to make 14 scarves = or yards

Hence, total fabric used to make dresses and scarves =

Leftover fabric = yards

yards is used to make = 1 sash

1 yard is used to make = sach

yards is used to make =

Hence, 6 sashes can be made.
