Question

Drake is making capes he uses 1/3 yards of fabric for each Cape he makes what is the total amount of fabric drake needs to make 96 capes

Answer 1

Let:

y = total amount of fabric

x = number of capes

a = yards of fabric for each Cape

Therefore:

$\begin{gathered} y(x)=ax \\ where \\ a=\frac{1}{3} \\ so\colon \\ y(x)=\frac{1}{3}x \\ x=96 \\ y(32)=\frac{1}{3}(96) \\ y(32)=32yd \end{gathered}$
