It takes 18 3/8 inches of wood to make a frame for a small photo. Ms. Jones has 3 yards of wood. How many frames can she make?

3 ft in a yard.
You have 9 feet of wood.
9 ft. =108 inches
108in./ 18.375=5.87
You can make 5 frames, .87 not enough to make another frame.

Hey sis!

3 ft in one yard
12 inches in 1 foot

Ms. Jones has 108 inches

108/ 18.375=5.87755102041

Since she can't make .87755 of a frame (well she can, but she won't), she can only make

5 frames.
