Question

Hazel is putting together charm bracelets. For each bracelet she uses 1 /5 of a yard of string and 12 charms.

Hazel has 5/8 of a yard of string and 96 charms. She makes the charm bracelets until all of the string is gone. What fraction of the 96 charms did she use?

Enter the fraction in the response box.

Answer 1

She uses 1yd for 60 charms, so for 5/8yd she would use 5/8×60=37.5.
Because she can’t use a fraction of a charm, she would use 37 charms which is 37/96 of the charms she has.
