To find the number of cards Noel made, we need to divide the total time he worked by the time it takes to make each card.
Total time worked = 11/12 hour
Time to make each card = 1/6 hour
Number of cards = Total time worked / Time to make each card
Number of cards = (11/12) / (1/6)
To divide fractions, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.
Number of cards = (11/12) * (6/1)
Number of cards = 66/12
Simplifying 66/12, we have:
Number of cards = 5 1/2 cards.
Therefore, Noel made 5 1/2 cards.
