Answer:

2 T-shirts can be used using orange dye.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : To tie-dye one T-shirt, \(\frac{3}{8}\) cup of dye is needed. Orange dye is \(\frac{3}{4}\) cups.

To find : How many T-shirts can be made using orange dye?

Solution :  

Let 'x' T-shirts can be made using orange dye.

Total orange dye is \(\frac{3}{4}\) cups.

Cup of dye needed for 1 shirt is \(\frac{3}{8}\) cup

For number of cup needed for x shirt is \(\frac{3}{8}x\) cup

i.e. \(\frac{3}{8}x=\frac{3}{4}\)

\(x=\frac{3\times 8}{4\times 3}\)

\(x=2\)

Therefore, 2 T-shirts can be used using orange dye.
