Ayub is making ¼ foot long bracelets for each of his friends. He has 1 ½ feet of cord to make the bracelets. How many bracelets can he make?
6 bracelets
Ayub can make 6 bracelets.
To find the number of bracelets Ayub can make, we need to divide the total length of cord Ayub has by the length of each bracelet.
First, we need to convert 1 ½ feet to a fraction. Since there are 12 inches in a foot, 1 foot is equal to 12/12 = 1.
So, 1 ½ feet is equal to 1 + ½ = 1 + 6/12 = 12/12 + 6/12 = 18/12 = 1 ½.
Now we can divide 1 ½ by ¼ to find the number of bracelets Ayub can make:
(1 ½) ÷ (¼) = (3/2) ÷ (1/4) = (3/2) x (4/1) = (3x4)/(2x1) = 12/2 = 6.
Therefore, Ayub can make 6 bracelets. Answer: \boxed{6}.
To find out how many bracelets Ayub can make, we need to divide the length of cord he has by the length of cord required for each bracelet.
Ayub has 1 ½ feet of cord, which is the same as 1.5 feet.
Each bracelet requires 1/4 foot of cord.
To find out how many bracelets Ayub can make, we divide the total cord length by the length of cord required for each bracelet:
1.5 feet / 1/4 foot = 1.5 / 0.25 = 6
Therefore, Ayub can make 6 bracelets.
To determine the number of bracelets Ayub can make, we need to divide the total length of the cord he has by the length of each bracelet.
Given that Ayub has 1 ½ feet of cord, we need to convert this mixed number into an improper fraction.
To do this, we multiply the whole number (1) by the denominator of the fraction (2) and then add the numerator (1 × 2 + 1 = 3). We then place the obtained sum (3) over the original denominator (2), resulting in the improper fraction 3/2.
Now, we can divide the total length of cord (3/2 feet) by the length of each bracelet (1/4 feet) to find the number of bracelets Ayub can make.
To divide fractions, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction. In this case, we multiply 3/2 by the reciprocal of 1/4.
The reciprocal of a fraction is found by swapping the numerator and denominator. So, the reciprocal of 1/4 is 4/1.
Now, we can multiply the fractions:
(3/2) × (4/1) = (3 × 4) / (2 × 1) = 12/2 = 6.
Therefore, Ayub can make 6 bracelets with the given length of cord.
