Answer:
[tex]36\ shirts[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
A denim shirt requires 4 3/5 yards of material
so
using proportion
Find out how many shirts can be made from 165 3/5 yards of material
But, first convert mixed numbers to an improper fractions
[tex]4\frac{3}{5}=\frac{4*5+3}{5}=\frac{23}{5}\ yd[/tex]
[tex]165\frac{3}{5}=\frac{165*5+3}{5}=\frac{828}{5}\ yd[/tex]
Let
x -----> the number of shirts
[tex]1/(23/5)=x/(828/5)[/tex]
[tex]x=828/23\\x=36\ shirts[/tex]
