2) Olivia requiredOlivia required 39/4 yards of rope to make a giant spider web in her backyard. How manysuch webs can she make with 68 1/4 yards of rope?

Answer 1

Given:

Requirement of rope to make a spider web:

`(39)/(4)`

Available rope to make such webs =

`68(1)/(4)=(273)/(4)`

Number of webs are given by:

`\begin{gathered} =((273)/(4))/((39)/(4)) \\ =(273)/(39) \\ =(91)/(13) \\ =7 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the number of webs required =7
