For this case we can solve the problem by making the following rule of three:
2 1/4 yards --------------> 1 tablecloth
18.5 yards ---------------> x
From here, we clear the value of x.
We have then:
[tex]x = \frac{18.5}{2 \frac{1}{4} } * (1)
x = 8.22[/tex]
Rounding the value of x to the nearest integer we have:
[tex]x = 8
[/tex]
