He can make 25 scarves from 15 balls of yarn.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Yarn used for one scarf = [tex]\frac{3}{5}[/tex] of a ball
Yarn purchased = 15 balls
Let,
x be the number of scarves.
Yarn used for one scarf*number of scarves = Yarn purchased
[tex]\frac{3}{5}x=15[/tex]
Multiplying both sides by [tex]\frac{5}{3}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{5}{3}*\frac{3}{5}x=15*\frac{5}{3}\\x=\frac{75}{3}\\x=25[/tex]
He can make 25 scarves from 15 balls of yarn.
