Answer:
To find how many refrigerator magnets can be made with 9 3/8 inches of magnetic tape, we need to divide the total length of magnetic tape by the length of magnetic tape used for each magnet.
First, we need to convert the mixed number 9 3/8 to an improper fraction:
9 3/8 = (9 x 8 + 3)/8 = 75/8
Next, we divide 75/8 by 5/8 to find how many magnets can be made:
(75/8) ÷ (5/8) = (75/8) x (8/5) = 15
Therefore, 15 refrigerator magnets can be made with 9 3/8 inches of magnetic tape.
