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
