Respuesta :

Answer:

50 pockets

Step-by-step explanation:

Total yards of lace = 75

Yards to decorate one Pocket = 1 1/2 yards

How many pockets can she decorate with the lace

Number of pockets she can decorate with the lace = Total yards of lace / Yards to decorate one Pocket

= 75 ÷ 1 1/2

= 75 ÷ 3/2

= 75 × 2/3

= 150/3

= 50

Number of pockets she can decorate with the lace = 50 pockets
