Question

Justine found 6-feet of string with which to make 8 bracelets. If each bracelet was the same length, how long was each bracelet?

Answer 1

9 inches

Explanation:

There is 6 feet of string that is used to make 8 bracelets. If each bracelet has the same length, you would divide 6 by 8 to find the equal amount of string each bracelet gets. 6/8 can be simplified into 3/4 which also equals 9/12 and since each foot equals 12 inches, 9/12 would be 9 inches over 12 inches or a foot so 9/12 would equal 9 inches.
