    The trim is half the amount of yards. half of 48 is 24 yards of trim. the rule is cross multiplacation.

    6/3 times 48/x

    3times48 = 144

    144/6=x

    =24

    One costume uses 6 yards of material, and she has used 48 yards. So by dividing 48 by 6 you can identify the number of costumes she has made.

    One costume needs 3 yards of trim, so take the number of costumes she has made that you calculated above, and multiply by 3.

    48 : 6 = 8

    8 x 3 = 24

    Therefore she will use 24 yards of trim
