An electrician needs to buy 9 1/2 feet of electrical tape there are 1 9/10 feet of tape on each spool how many spools of tape should the electrician buy? Please answer and explain the equation well

Answer 1

5 because 9 1/2 is 19/2 and 1 9/10 is 19/10 so to make a a common Denominator x5 and you’ll get 95/10 and 19/10 can go into 95/10 5x.
