A baby's T-shirt requires 4/5[br]yards of fabric, or 4/5 of a

0:00:06.150,0:00:07.470
yard of fabric.

0:00:07.470,0:00:11.190
How many T-shirts can be[br]made from 48 yards?

0:00:11.190,0:00:13.250
So what we want to do is we[br]essentially want to say how

0:00:13.250,0:00:18.430
many groups of 4/5 of a yard[br]can we make with 48 yards?

0:00:18.430,0:00:24.680
So you literally view this as[br]we want to take 48 yards and

0:00:24.680,0:00:29.810
divide it into groups of 4/5[br]of a yard, and say how many

0:00:29.810,0:00:30.610
groups are there?

0:00:30.610,0:00:32.430
Because each of those[br]groups can make

0:00:32.430,0:00:33.740
one to baby's T-shirt.

0:00:33.740,0:00:37.110
If you give me 4/5 of a yard,[br]one baby's T-shirt, so the

0:00:37.110,0:00:40.720
number of groups of 4/5 is the[br]number of babies' T-shirts.

0:00:40.720,0:00:43.340
Now, when we divide by a[br]fraction, we just have to

0:00:43.340,0:00:45.970
remember that that is the same[br]thing, that is completely

0:00:45.970,0:00:51.030
equivalent to multiplying[br]times the

0:00:51.030,0:00:52.365
reciprocal of the fraction.

0:00:52.365,0:00:56.700
So if we have 4/5 here,[br]that'll be 5/4, the

0:00:56.700,0:00:57.660
reciprocal.

0:00:57.660,0:00:59.960
Now, you still might say, hey, I[br]have a whole number here and

0:00:59.960,0:01:02.470
a fraction, and you just have[br]to remember any whole number

0:01:02.470,0:01:04.099
can be written as a fraction.

0:01:04.099,0:01:11.340
This is the same thing[br]as 48/1 times 5/4.

0:01:11.340,0:01:14.040
Now, we could just multiply it[br]out at this point and figure

0:01:14.040,0:01:19.380
out what 48 times 5 is and[br]that'll be over 4, but that'll

0:01:19.380,0:01:21.650
get big numbers and it'll be[br]hard to kind of divide and all

0:01:21.650,0:01:23.700
that, but we could divide at[br]this stage right here.

0:01:23.700,0:01:26.230
We could divide the numerator[br]and the denominator by 4.

0:01:26.230,0:01:30.240
Or we could say, look, this is[br]going to be equal to 48 times

0:01:30.240,0:01:34.070
5, whatever that is, over 4.

0:01:34.070,0:01:36.370
Now, let's divide the[br]numerator by 4.

0:01:36.370,0:01:40.500
Well, we could divide 48 by 4,[br]and we will get to 12, and

0:01:40.500,0:01:42.090
whatever we did to the[br]numerator, we have to do to

0:01:42.090,0:01:45.750
the denominator, so if we[br]divide 4 by 4, we get 1.

0:01:45.750,0:01:51.090
So then we're left with 12 times[br]5, which is equal to 60.

0:01:51.090,0:01:56.820
12 times 5, which is equal to[br]60/1, which is the exact same

0:01:56.820,0:01:58.540
thing as 60.

0:01:58.540,0:02:02.960
So you can actually make 60[br]children's or babies' T-shirts

0:02:02.960,0:02:07.300
from 48 yards if each of[br]them use 4/5 of a yard.
