57 sweaters can be made from 173.4 meters of fabric
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Total fabric available = 173.4 meters
Fabric used for one sweater = 3 meters
Let,
x be the number of sweaters.
Fabric used for one sweater * Number of sweaters ≤ Total fabric available
[tex]3x\leq 173.4[/tex]
Dividing both sides by 3
[tex]\frac{3x}{3}\leq \frac{173.4}{3}\\x\leq 57.8[/tex]
57 sweaters can be made from 173.4 meters of fabric
