Answer 1

Answer:

15 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Darcie crochets at a rate of 1/15  of blanket per day

1/15  of blanket is completed in 1 day

1 blanket is completed in 1/(1/15) = 15 days

3 blankets are completed in 3 * 15 = 45 days

Number of days required to complete 3 blankets = 45 days

Available number of days = 60 days

Number of days can be skipped = 60 - 45 = 15 days

so Darcie can skip for 15 days to volunteer in other ways
