I have 5 1/2 yards of fabric and i have 33 students and each students need bandanna. how di work this problem

(1/6 yd)/student

Step-by-step explanation:

Figure out the measure (in yards) that corresponds to each of 33 students:

 5.5 yds            5.5                             55*10^(-1)

= yds/student = yds/student, or

 33 students     33                                33

  5

yd/student, or, finally, 1/6 yd/student

  30

Check:  How much fabric is used to make a bandana for each of 33 students if 1/6 yd is required for each?  (33 students)([1/6] yd/student = 5.5 yd (correct)

answer is x<
