One bolt of cloth will make shirts for 47 people. How many bolts are needed for 376 people?

8

Step-by-step explanation:

the relationship of one "unit" (bolt) of cloth to 47 people makes this number (47 people) also an unit.

to answer the question we need to find out, how many units fit into the target.

how do we do that ? by division.

when we divide a/b, then we are actually asking, how many times does b fit into a.

so, how many bolts are needed for 376 people ?

well, how often does 47 fit into 376 ? how often can we build groups of 47 people out of the 376 ?

the answer

376 / 47 = 8

so, 8 bolts are needed.

1 bolts = 47 people

so, 47+47+47+47+47+47+47+47= 376 people

The answer is 8 bolts

you didn't give me the choices, so i will just give you the graph so you can look at your choices and choose the right one.
