Harry needs 21 square meters of fabric for every 6 wizard cloaks he makes. How many cloaks could he make with 7 square meters of fabric
Accepted Solution
A:
Answer: 2Step-by-step explanation:First, set up a proportion based on the amount of square meters over the number of cloaks he can make:21/6 = 7/xCross multiply to get your next proportion and result with this: 21x = 42Divide both sides by 21 (always divide the side with the variable):21x/21 = 42/21Cancel out the 21 (it's being divided by 21 so that makes it equivalent to 1 so you wind up with just x)x = 2
