Mrs. Larsen made 12 pillows from 16 yards of the same fabric. How much fabric was used to make each pillow? Between what 2 numbers does the answer lie in?
The answer is given by :
[ The amount of material ] / [The number of pillows made ] = 16 / 12 = 4 /3 = ( 1 + 1/3 ) yds per pillow
So the answer lies between the integers 1 and 2
She made 8 pillows. Between 7 and 9.
