Final answer:

Anabelle can make 2.5 bracelets with the given amount of string.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how many bracelets Anabelle can make with the given amount of string, we need to divide the total length of the string by the length needed for each bracelet.

Given: Total length of string = 2(1)/(2) feet, Length needed for each bracelet = (2)/(3) feet

So, the number of bracelets Anabelle can make is (2(1)/(2)) ÷ ((2)/(3)).

Simplifying this expression gives: (2(1)/(2)) ÷ ((2)/(3)) = (5)/(2).

Therefore, Anabelle can make (5)/(2) or 2.5 bracelets with the given amount of string.
