Bryan has 5 2/3 feet of leather cord to use to make friendship bracelets he needs 1/2 foot of cord for each one how many whole bracelets can Bryan make
To find the number of whole bracelets Bryan can make, we need to divide the total length of cord he has by the length needed for each bracelet.
5 2/3 feet can be rewritten as an improper fraction: 5 + 2/3 = 15/3 + 2/3 = 17/3 feet.
Now we divide 17/3 feet by 1/2 foot per bracelet:
(17/3) รท (1/2) = (17/3) * (2/1) = 34/3 = 11 1/3.
Therefore, Bryan can make 11 whole bracelets.
