Question

Matt wants to decorate his skateboard with decals. His skateboard is 28 3/4 inches long. The decals are 5 1/2 inches long. If matt arranged them in a line from the front to the back how many decals will fit?

Answer 1

5 decals

Explanation:

Given that :

Length of skateboard = 28 3/4

Length of decals = 5 1/2 inches

The number of decals that will fit can be obtained by:

Dividing the length of skateboard by the length of Decal

28 3/4 ÷ 5 1/2

115 /4 ÷ 11/ 2

115 / 4 * 2 /11

(115 * 2) / (4 * 11)

230 / 44

= 5.227

Hence, the number of decals that will fit is 5
