Answer:
10 pair of soccer shorts.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the unknown be x.
Translating the word problem into an algebraic equation, we have;
2/5 yard = 1 pair of short
4 yard = x pair of short
Cross-multiplying, we have;
2x/5 = 4
Multiplying both sides by 5, we have;
2x = 20
x = 20/2
x = 10 pair of soccer shorts.
