The problem states that \( \frac{5}{7} \) yard of material is needed to make one blanket, and asks how many blankets can be made from 10 yards of material.

To solve this, divide the total material (10 yards) by the amount of material needed for one blanket \( \left( \frac{5}{7} \right) \).

\[
\text{Number of blankets} = \frac{10}{\frac{5}{7}} = 10 \times \frac{7}{5} = \frac{70}{5} = 14
\]

Therefore, 14 blankets can be made from 10 yards of material.

5. What if the material required per blanket was a different fraction?

**Tip:** When dividing by a fraction, always remember to multiply by its reciprocal!

If 5/7 yard of material is needed to make a blanket, how many blankets can be made from 10 yards of material?

Learn how to calculate the number of blankets that can be made from 10 yards of material when each blanket requires 5/7 yard. This solution involves dividing fractions, using the reciprocal of 5/7, and multiplying to find that 14 blankets can be made. Suitable for students in Grades 5-7.
