Tanya bought 8.05 yards of fleece fabric to make costumes for a school play. She needs 1.25 yards of fabric for each costume. How many costumes can Tanya make with the fabric she bought?

• The error in this solution is the yards of fleece and the amount of fabric for each costume should not be multiplied by 100.

• The error in this solution is that a decimal should have been placed at the end of 805 before adding zeroes. This decimal should have also been included in the quotient

• The error in this solution is the yards of fabric for each costume should have been multiplied by the total yards of fleece fabric.

• The error in this solution is the yards of fabric for each costume should have been divided by the amount of fleece she bought.
