Answer:

27 vests

Step-by-step explanation:

  • If a vest is made out of 2/3 yard of fabric, then to know how many vest can be made with 18 yards, of fabric, we apply simple three rule, like this:  

       1 vest --------- 2/3 yard

       x vest -------- 18 yards

  • Then, to know how many vest can be made out of 18 yards of fabric ("x"), we divide 18 by (2/3): [tex]\frac{18}{\frac{2}{3}} =18\frac{3}{2} =24[/tex].
