EXPLANATION:
-First we must convert the mixed number to fraction and then to decimal.
-Then we must formulate a rule of three mathematics to make the corresponding relation and know exactly how many scarves can be made.
The exercise is as follows:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 2\frac{1}{3}=\frac{7}{3}=2.3(for\text{ a scarf)} \\ \text{ } \\ 2.3yards\rightarrow1\text{ scarf} \\ 14yards\rightarrow x \\ \frac{14\times1}{2.3}=\frac{14}{2.3}=6.0\text{ scarves} \\ \\ \text{ANSWER: }with\text{ }14\text{ yards }can\text{ be }done\text{ 6.0 scarves} \end{gathered}[/tex]IMPORTANT NOTE:
To convert a mixed number to a fraction you must do the following steps:
The whole number that accompanies the fraction must be multiplied by the denominator, then the result must be added to the numerator
Now to have a decimal number, you must divide the numerator by the denominator.
