Phillip has 6 yards of string to make necklaces. One necklace uses 2/3 yard of string. How many necklaces can he make?

6/(2/3) = 6 * (3/2) = 18/2 = ?

Thanks for your help!

You're welcome.

welp that would be 8

To find out how many necklaces Phillip can make, we need to divide the total length of string he has by the length used for one necklace.

First, let's convert the length of a single necklace from a fraction to a decimal. To do this, we divide the numerator (2) by the denominator (3): 2 ÷ 3 = 0.67 (rounded to two decimal places).

Now, let's divide the total length of string (6 yards) by the length used for one necklace (0.67 yards):

6 ÷ 0.67 = 8.96 (rounded to two decimal places).

Since we can't have a fraction of a necklace, we round down to the nearest whole number. Therefore, Phillip can make 8 necklaces using his 6 yards of string.
