If 5/9 yard of material is needed to make a blanklet, how many blankets can be made from 15 yards of material?

To find out how many blankets can be made from 15 yards of material, given that each blanket requires \( \frac{5}{9} \) yard, you can divide the total material by the material required for one blanket.

\[
\text{Number of blankets} = \frac{15}{\frac{5}{9}}
\]

To simplify:

\[
\text{Number of blankets} = 15 \times \frac{9}{5} = \frac{135}{5} = 27
\]

So, 27 blankets can be made from 15 yards of material.
