Answer 2

Given:

Anne can make 6 headbands from 3/5 meter of cloth.

To find :

The amount of cloth needed to make 1 headband.

Solution:

Let 'x' be the amount of cloth needed to make 1 headband.

Anne can make 6 headbands from 3/5 meter of cloth.

Therefore,

$\frac{6}{\frac{3}{5} }$ = $\frac{1}{x}$ is the expression shows the amount of cloth needed.

6 × $\frac{5}{3}$ = $\frac{1}{x}$

2 × 5 =  $\frac{1}{x}$

$\frac{1}{x}$ = 10

x = $\frac{1}{10}$

The amount of cloth needed to make 1 headband is $\frac{1}{10}$ meter.

Final answer:

The expression shows the amount of cloth needed is $\frac{6}{\frac{3}{5} }$ = $\frac{1}{x}$

The amount of cloth needed to make 1 headband is $\frac{1}{10}$ meter.
