Consider the question. 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?
What is the step-by-step reasoning process to arrive at the answer: 11?
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.
