An adult sweater is made from 2 pounds of wool. This is 3 times as much wool as it takes to make a baby sweater. How much wool does it take to make a baby sweater? Use a tape diagram to solve.

Answer:[tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] pound.Step-by-step explanation:Let x represent amount of wool needed for baby sweater.We have been given that an adult sweater takes 3 times as much wool as it takes to make a baby sweater. The amount of wool needed for adult sweater would be [tex]3x[/tex].We have been given that an adult sweater is made from 2 pounds of wool. [tex]3x=2[/tex]Let us solve for x.[tex]\frac{3x}{3}=\frac{2}{3}[/tex][tex]x=\frac{2}{3}[/tex] Therefore, a baby sweater requires [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] pound of wool.
