first you need to know how many feet are in a yard.you divide 27 by 3 and you get 9. and to check your answer multiply 27 by 48 and you get 432 then you divide that by 9 and you get 48. so she used 9 yards of fabric for each dress.

Answer: [tex]\frac{3}{16}\ yards[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The amount of fabric used by Ellie to make 48 doll dresses=27 feet

We know that 1 yard = 3 feet

⇒ 1 feet =[tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] yard

Therefore, 27 feet  =[tex]\frac{27}{3}[/tex] =9 yards

If she uses the same amount of fabric to make each dress.

Then , the amount  of fabric used by Ellie to make =[tex]\frac{9}{48}=\frac{3}{16}\ yards[/tex]

Hence, the the amount  of fabric used by Ellie to make =[tex]\frac{3}{16}\ yards[/tex]
