Answer: 1.25 feet of yarn for each bracelet.

Explanation:

Malcom has 125 ft of yarn, and he want to do 100 bracelets, where he uses the same amount of yarn in each bracelet, so the amount of yarn for each bracelet can be obtained by:

Amount = total amount of yarn/number of bracelets

N = 125ft/100 = 1.25ft

So he uses 1.25 feet of yarn for each bracelet.
