If 5/6 yard of material is needed to make a blanket, how many blankets can be made 15 yards of material?

To find out how many blankets can be made with 15 yards of material, given that each blanket requires \( \frac{5}{6} \) yard of material, you can divide the total available material by the material needed per blanket.

\[
\text{Number of blankets} = \frac{15}{\frac{5}{6}} = 15 \times \frac{6}{5} = 3 \times 6 = 18
\]

Thus, you can make **18 blankets** with 15 yards of material.
