To find out how many videotapes can be put side-by-side on the shelf, we need to divide the length of the shelf by the width of each videotape.
To do this, we can convert the mixed fraction 1 1/2 to an improper fraction.
1 1/2 can be written as (1 * 2 + 1) / 2 = 3/2.
Now, we divide the length of the shelf (12 inches) by the width of each videotape (3/2 inches):
12 inches ÷ (3/2) inches = 12 inches × (2/3 inches) = 24/3 = 8.
Therefore, Lyle can put 8 videotapes side-by-side on the shelf.
What is 12 ÷ 1.5 ??
Guess
Easy don’t do it-
When this actually on my work 😃👌
