Answer

B

Explanation

This is a problem of direct variation or direct proportion. In this case, the amount of fabric needed to make a dress is directly proportional to the number of dresses. If 12.5 square feet of fabric are needed to make 3 dresses, then we can set up a proportion to find out how much fabric is needed to make 12 dresses. The proportion is 12.5/3 = x/12, where x is the amount of fabric needed to make 12 dresses. Solving for x gives us x = 12.5 * 12 / 3 = 50 square feet. Therefore, 50 square feet of fabric are needed to make 12 dresses.
