As the weather got colder, Darell knitted blankets for his friends: Carter, Aubrey, Johnny, and Mabel. He used 21 balls of yarn that he divided up evenly to make the blankets.
How many balls of yarn did Darell use for each blanket?
Write your answer as a proper fraction or mixed number.
balls of yarn
To find out how many balls of yarn Darell used for each blanket, we start by dividing the total number of balls of yarn by the number of friends he made blankets for.
Darell used 21 balls of yarn and there are 4 friends:
[
text{Balls of yarn per blanket} = frac{21 text{ balls}}{4 text{ friends}} = frac{21}{4}
]
Now, we can also express this as a mixed number. When we divide 21 by 4, we get 5 with a remainder of 1:
[
frac{21}{4} = 5 frac{1}{4}
]
So, Darell used ( frac{21}{4} ) balls of yarn, or ( 5 frac{1}{4} ) balls of yarn for each blanket.
