$x = 10$ $x=10$ bandanas can be made

Explanation:

So we know that to make a dog bandana we must have 12 inches of material.

First of all we will convert yards into inches

$1 yard = 36$ $1 " yard "=36$ Inches so $3 \frac{1}{3} yards = x$ $3 1/3 " yards "= x$ Inches

Yard : inches
$1 : 36$ $" " 1 : 36$
$3 \frac{1}{3} : x$ $" "3 1/3:x$
$\frac{10}{3} : x$ $" "10/3:x$

$x = \frac{10}{3} \times 36$ $x = 10/3 xx 36$

$x = 120$ $x=120$ Inches

Note: $3 \frac{1}{3} \neq 3.33$ $3 1/3 !=3.33$
$3 \frac{1}{3}$ $3 1/3$ is exact while $3.33$ $3.33$ has been rounded off from the recurring decimal #3.33333333..

Now we will calculate how many bandanas $120$ $120$ Inches can make:

Bandana : amount
$1 : 12$ $" "1:12$
$x : 120$ $" "x:120$

$x = 10$ $" "x=10$
