Respuesta :

Answer:

x  =  131,25  m

Step-by-step explanation:

Manufacture the collar of an airbag helmet   takes 1,5 m of fabric

Manufacturer is going to make 250 collars

Company only has 65 %  of the needed fabric

Total quantity of fabric needed is:

250 * 1,5  = 375 m

If they have 65 % that means that they need 35 % of the total quantity

then, by rule of three

375  ⇒     100

x ??  ⇒       35

x = ( 375 * 35)/100

x  =  131,25  m
