If i have 40 ft of cloth how many dresses can i make if each dress is 2 ft and 6 in

16 dresses

Step-by-step explanation:

you can make 16 because when you divide the length of cloth (40 ft) by 2.5 (2 ft 6in) you get 16

16

Step-by-step explanation:

We know 6 inches is .5 of a foot

1 ft = 12 inches

6 inches /12 inches = 1/2 ft

We have 40 ft of cloth and each dress is 2.5 ft long

Take 40 ft and divide by 2.5

40 ÷ 2.5 =16

We can make 16 dresses

divide by 5

step-by-step explanation:

60/5 = 12

a.) list the factors of 40.

1/2/4/5/8/10/20/40

b.) list the factors of 40 that represent the number of cans that could be on each shelf.

5

c.) how many different arrangements of cans are possible?

just one because if you put more on one shelf you will go way over 40 and the cabinet will probably break.

d.) what are the possible arrangements of the cans?

put 5 cans on each self to reach 40 cans in total.

e.) which arrangement uses all the shelves?

5 because you can put 5 cans on each shelf, and since there are 8 shelfs you are equally going to get 40 cans.
