    Step-by-step explanation:

    Samantha needs 4/5 yard of fabric to make costumes for the school play.

    Let x represent the number of yards of fabric that she has

    Let y represent the total number of costumes that she can make from x yards of fabric.

    Since one costume require 4/5 yards of fabric, y costumes will require

    x : 4/5 = x*5/4 = 5x/4

    The equation will be

    y = 5x/4

    to find how many costumes she can make with 8 yards of fabric, it becomes

    y = (5*8) / 4

    y = 40/4 = 10
