    x = 131,25 m

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Manufacture the collar of an airbag helmet takes 1,5 m of fabric

    Manufacturer is going to make 250 collars

    Company only has 65 % of the needed fabric

    Total quantity of fabric needed is:

    250 * 1,5 = 375 m

    If they have 65 % that means that they need 35 % of the total quantity

    then, by rule of three

    375 ⇒ 100

    x? ⇒ 35

    x = (375 * 35) / 100

    x = 131,25 m
