To find out how many bracelets Bailey can make with 21 yards of embroidery floss, we need to divide the total amount of floss by the amount required for each bracelet.

First, let's convert the mixed number 2 1/3 into an improper fraction. To do this, we multiply the whole number (2) by the denominator (3) and add the numerator (1). This gives us 2 * 3 + 1 = 7. Therefore, 2 1/3 is equal to 7/3.

Now, we can divide the total amount of floss (21 yards) by the amount required for each bracelet (7/3 yards). To divide by a fraction, we multiply the dividend (21) by the reciprocal (3/7) of the divisor (7/3):

21 * (3/7) = 63/7 = 9.

So, Bailey can make 9 friendship bracelets with 21 yards of embroidery floss.
