Martha Lou needs 1 3/4

yards of fabric to make a

small pillow. She buys 12 1/4

yards of fabric from the

fabric store. How many

pillows can she make?

7 small pillows.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's get rid of the whole parts of fractions - > 1 3/4=7/4, 12 1/4=49/4

2. To find how many pillows she can make divide the available fabric by the amount needed - > (49/4) / (7/4) = 49/7=7.
