Question

Navya has 10 ¹/₂ feet of craft wire that she uses to make earrings. If each pair of earring requires 3/4 foot of wire, how many pairs of earrings is Navya able to make.

Given:

• Total wire = 10 ¹/₂ ft
• Wire required to make 1 pair of earrings = 3/4 ft

To calculate the number of pairs of earrings Navya can make, divide the total amount of wire by the wire required to make 1 pair of earrings:

`\begin{aligned}\implies \sf 10(1)/(2) / (3)/(4) &= \sf (21)/(2) / (3)/(4)\\ \\& = \sf (21)/(2) * (4)/(3)\\ \\& = \sf (21 * 4)/(2 * 3)\\ \\& = \sf (84)/(6)\\ \\& = \sf 14 \end{aligned}`

Therefore, Navya can make 14 pairs of earrings.
