My question is: James can make a beret from 3 spools of yarn. If he has 12 spools of red yarn, 15 spools of black yarn, and 6 spools of blue yarn, how many berets can he make? Your thoughts:
First find the total number of spools of yarn James has: 12 spools + 15 spools + 6 spools = 33 spools. Then divide that number by the number spools each beret needs: 33 spools / 3 spools / beret = 11 berets. The final answer: 11.
