Answer:  3

=======================================

Explanation:

7/8 = 49/56 after multiplying top and bottom by 7

2/7 = 16/56 after multiplying top and bottom  by 8

Both fractions involve 56 as the denominator. So we can think of "56ths" as a unit. She has 49 units of fabric and each shirt requires 16 units.

49/16 = (48+1)/16 = 48/16 + 1/16 = 3 + 1/16

She can make 3 full shirts, and then the 1/16 is the leftover bit which we ignore.

Answer:

3 whole shirts

Step-by-step explanation:

(7/8) / (2/7) = 7/8 * 7/2 = 49/16 = 3 1/16 so, 3 whole shirts { (7/8 divided by (2/7 = 7/8 x 7/2 = 49/16 or 3 1/16 so, 3 whole shirts in total. }
