Answer
50 pockets
Explanation
The dressmaker has 75 yards
It takes 1.5 yards of lace to decorate one pocket.
We are then asked to find out how many pockets the dressmaker can decorate. Let that number of pockets be n
1 pocket = 1.5 yards
n pockets = 75 yards
We can write a mathematical relationship by cross multiplying
n × 1.5 = 1 × 75
1.5n = 75
Divide both sides by 1.5
(1.5n/1.5) = (75/1.5)
n = 50 pockets.
Hope this Helps!!!
