Dawn has 12 yards of silk. She needs 1 1/4 yards of silk to make one skirt. How many skirts can she make?

If she has 12 yards and needs 1 1/4,first turn the fraction into a decimal (1.25) then divided 12÷1.25 you'll get 9.6.lastly turn the answer into a fraction(9 3/5)

Dawn can make 9 skirts using her 12 yards of silk, with some silk left over. Each skirt requires 1 1/4 yards of silk, which is equivalent to 4 5 ​ . After calculating the division, we find she can make 9 3/5 skirts.
