Answer:

8 bracelets

Explanation:

Each time when we we cut the ribbon for making a ribbon, the length will be reduced. So, repeated subtraction is division.

To find the number of bracelets, divide the total length of the ribbon by the length required for making a bracelet.

Fraction division:

Use KCF method

Step1: Keep the first fraction

Step2: Change division to multiplication

Step3: Flip the second fraction

Number of bracelets = total length ÷ length required for making a bracelet.


= 5(1)/(3) / (2)/(3)\\\\= (16)/(3) / (2)/(3)\\\\= (16)/(3)*(3)/(2)\\\\= 8
