To find out how many whole cards Noel made, we can divide the total time he worked (11/12 hour) by the time it takes to make one card (1/6 hour).
(11/12) ÷ (1/6) = (11/12) x (6/1)
We can simplify this expression by multiplying the numerators and denominators.
(11/12) x (6/1) = (11 x 6) / (12 x 1) = 66/12
Now we can see that Noel made 66/12 of a card. However, we want to find out how many whole cards he made. To do this, we can divide the numerator (66) by the denominator (12).
66 ÷ 12 = 5 remainder 6
So Noel made 5 whole cards, with a remainder of 6/12 of a card. However, since 6/12 is equivalent to 1/2, we can say that Noel made 5 and 1/2 cards.
Therefore, the answer is: 5 1/2 cards.
