Question

Ms. Trevino has 7 1/2 yards of string, She needs to cut them into strips, and each strip needs to be 1 1/2 yards in length. How many strips of string can she cut with 7 1/2 yards?

Answer 1

Answer:

$N_t=6.455\ yards$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Total String $N=71/2$

Strip size $N_s=11/2$

 

Generally the equation for Total Number of strip cut $N_t$ is mathematically given by

$N_t=\frac{N}{N_s}$

Therefore the  strips of string can she cut with 7 1/2 yards is Given as

$N_t=\frac{71/2}{11/2}$

$N_t=\frac{71}{2}*\frac{2}{11}$

$N_t=\frac{71}{11}$

$N_t=6.455\ yards$
