Answer: 14 (14.4 if your allowed to make 2/5 of a necklace)

Explanation:

First let's change the 6 yards of string to inches to make this easier.

Note: for every 1 yard it is equal to 36 inches

So let's multiply the length (6 yards) by 36 = 216 inches

We know that she needs 15 inches to make one necklace. So let's take our 216 inches and divide by 15.

216/15= 14.4

So Jenna can make about 14 necklaces.
