Avery needs to buy fabric to make curtain panels for her windows. Each panel will be 6 feet long and foot wide. Each piece of fabric that she can buy is 6 feet long and 4 feet wide. How many 1/3 panels can she make from 1 piece of fabric?

12 panels

Step-by-step explanation:

Each panel is 6 feet long and 1 foot wide, which means that each panel's area is 6 * 1 = 6 square ft. A 1/3 panel will then be 6/3 = 2 square ft.

One piece of fabric has an area of 6 * 4 = 24 square feet.

To find how many 1/3 panels Avery can make from 1 piece of fabric, we can just divide 24 by 2 to get 12.

Thus, she can make 12 panels.

12

Step-by-step explanation:

(6 × 4) ÷ (6 × 1)

= 4

3 panels or

4 ÷ ⅓ = 12 (⅓ panels)

5/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets suppose a quantity A that has a value of x

A = x

25% of A is = x/4

now adding this 25% to get 25% increase in the original value

A' = x+ x/4

    A' = 5x/4

    A' = 5*A/4

This means that , in order to increase the value by 25%  in a single step we must multiply the the original value by 5/4.
