Answer:

14 ornaments.

Explanation:

To find the amount of ornaments students can make from 3 1/2 pieces of Bristol board, you will need to divide fractions. Therefore:

Begin by converting '3 1/2' to an improper fraction.

3 1/2 =
(7)/(2)

Divide '1/4' from the total amount by multiplying by the reciprocal.


(7)/(2) * (4)/(1) = (7* 4)/(2 *1) = (28)/(2) = 14

Therefore, the students can make 14 ornaments.
