Answer 1

Given:

The length of ribbon Jase has, l=5 1/3 feet

The length of ribbon needed to make one bracelet, L=2/3 feet.

The number of bracelets Jase can makes is,

`\begin{gathered} n=(l)/(L) \\ =(5(1)/(3))/((2)/(3)) \\ =((5*3+1)/(3))/((2)/(3)) \\ =((16)/(3))/((2)/(3)) \\ =(16)/(2) \\ =8 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, Jase can make 8 bracelets.
