Answer 2

Answer:

2 T-shirts can be used using orange dye.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : To tie-dye one T-shirt, $\frac{3}{8}$ cup of dye is needed. Orange dye is $\frac{3}{4}$ cups.

To find : How many T-shirts can be made using orange dye?

Solution :  

Let 'x' T-shirts can be made using orange dye.

Total orange dye is $\frac{3}{4}$ cups.

Cup of dye needed for 1 shirt is $\frac{3}{8}$ cup

For number of cup needed for x shirt is $\frac{3}{8}x$ cup

i.e. $\frac{3}{8}x=\frac{3}{4}$

$x=\frac{3\times 8}{4\times 3}$

$x=2$

Therefore, 2 T-shirts can be used using orange dye.
