Answer 1

`2(1)/(6)\ frames`

Explanation:

we know that

To find out how many frames she can make with the exiting material, divide 1 5/8 by 3/4

so

`1(5)/(8):(3)/(4)`

Convert mixed number to an improper fraction

`1(5)/(8)=(1*8+5)/(8)=(13)/(8)`

substitute

`(13)/(8):(3)/(4)=(52)/(24)\ frames`

Simplify

`(13)/(6)\ frames`

Convert to mixed number

`(13)/(6)\ frames=(12)/(6)+(1)/(6)=2(1)/(6)\ frames`
