Question

Sal is making bracelets for a funraiser . She uses 6 inches of yarn per bracelet.How many bracelets can Sal make with 5 feet of yarn?

Answer 1

Sal can make 10 bracelets.

Explanation:

In order to find this, we first need to convert the total distance into inches. We can do this by multiplying by scale factors.

5 ft * 12 inches per foot = 60 inches.

Now that we have the distance in inches, we can divide the total length by the length needed for each section.

60 inches / 6 inches per bracelet = 10 bracelets
