Answer:


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
