Maurice is making 7 costumes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total material bought = 16.1 yards

Material used for one costume = 2.3 yards

Let the number of costumes be x.

Therefore,

2.3x=16.1

Dividing both sides by 2.3

[tex]\frac{2.3x}{2.3}=\frac{16.1}{2.3}\\x=7[/tex]

Maurice is making 7 costumes.
