Answer:
3 3/4 yards of material
Step-by-step explanation:
Mandy was making 6 pillows, to give to her family. She needed 5/8 of a yard of material for each pillow. How many yards of material does she need?
From the above question:
1 pillow = 5/8 yard
6 pillows = x yards
Cross Multiply
1 pillow × x yards = 6 pillows × 5/8 yards
x yards = 6 pillows × 5/8 yards/1 pillow
x yards = 3 3/4 yards of material
Therefore, she needs 3 3/4 yards of material to make 6 pillows.
