Mr. Wing has 36 yards of wool fabric. A sports jacket takes 1 4/5 yards to make. How many jacket could Mr. Wing make with the fabric

He can make 20 jackets.
1 and 4/5 = 1.8
That means it takes 1.8 yards to make ONE jacket.
Divide 36 (the total yards) by 1.8 (yards per jacket) to get the total jackets possible he can make = 20.
In other words, 1.8 x 20 = 36.
He can make about 20
