Divide the total amount of fabric by the amount needed to create a purse to find how many purses will she be able to make.
Since she has 10 yards of fabric and each purse requires 1/3 of a yard, then, divide 10 over 1/3:
[tex]10\div\frac{1}{3}=\frac{10}{1}\div\frac{1}{3}=\frac{10\times3}{1\times1}=\frac{30}{1}=30[/tex]Therefore, Angelina will be able to make 30 purses using 10 yards of fabric.
