⅓ bracelets
⅜ bracelets
0. He doesn't have enough cord.
To find the number of bracelets Ayub can make, we need to divide the total length of the cord he has (1 ½ feet) by the length of each bracelet (¼ foot).
1 ½ feet = 3 halves
Dividing 3 halves by ¼ gives us 3 halves / ¼ = 6 bracelets.
Therefore, Ayub can make 6 bracelets.
To find out how many bracelets Ayub can make, we need to divide the total length of cord (1 ½ feet) by the length of each bracelet (¼ foot).
1 ½ feet is the same as 1 + ½ = 1.5 feet.
Dividing 1.5 feet by 0.25 feet gives us:
1.5 / 0.25 = 6.
Therefore, Ayub can make 6 bracelets with the given length of cord.
So the answer is: 6 bracelets.
To determine how many bracelets Ayub can make, we need to divide the total length of cord he has (1 ½ feet) by the length of cord needed for each bracelet (¼ foot).
Step 1: Convert 1 ½ feet into a fraction.
Since 1 foot is equivalent to 12 inches, ½ foot would be 6 inches. So, 1 ½ feet can be written as 1 + 6/12 feet or 1 6/12 feet, which can be simplified to 1 ½ feet.
Step 2: Write the division problem with the fractions.
1 ½ feet ÷ ¼ foot
Step 3: Convert the whole number to an improper fraction.
1 can be written as 1/1, so the fraction becomes:
1/1 + 6/12 feet ÷ ¼ foot
Step 4: Find a common denominator for the fractions.
The common denominator for 1/1 and 6/12 can be 12, since both fractions have 12 as a denominator. The division problem becomes:
12/12 + 6/12 feet ÷ ¼ foot
Step 5: Add the fractions together.
12/12 + 6/12 feet = 18/12 feet
Step 6: Perform the division.
18/12 feet ÷ ¼ foot = (18/12) ÷ (1/4)
To divide fractions, invert the divisor and multiply:
(18/12) x (4/1) = (18 x 4) / (12 x 1)
Simplify the fraction:
72/12 = 6
The answer is 6 bracelets. Therefore, Ayub can make 6 bracelets with the given 1 ½ feet of cord.
