Question

Ms. Trevino has 7 1/2 yards of string, She needs to cut them into strips, and each strip needs to be 1 1/2 yards in length. How many strips of string can she cut with 7 1/2 yards?

Answer 1

`N_t=6.455\ yards`

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Total String
`N=71/2`

Strip size
`N_s=11/2`

Generally the equation for Total Number of strip cut
`N_t` is mathematically given by

`N_t=(N)/(N_s)`

Therefore the strips of string can she cut with 7 1/2 yards is Given as

`N_t=(71/2)/(11/2)`

`N_t=(71)/(2)*(2)/(11)`

`N_t=(71)/(11)`

`N_t=6.455\ yards`
