Question

How many 5/8 inch binder clips laid side by side make a length of 11 1/4.

Answer 1

The number of binder clips that make this entire length is 18

Here, we want to get the number of binder clips

To get this, we simply divide the entire length by each of the binder clip's length

We have this as;

`\begin{gathered} 11(1)/(4)\text{ divided by }(5)/(8) \\ \\ =\text{ }(45)/(4)*(8)/(5) \\ =\text{ 18} \end{gathered}`
