Number of bracelets she can make from 15 1/6 = 91/6 foot of string is :


n_1=((91)/(6))/((1)/(2))\\\\n_1=30.33

So, number of bracelets from 15 1/6 foot string are 30.

Now,

Number of bracelets she can make from 12 1/3 = 35/3 foot of string is :


n_2=((35)/(3))/((1)/(2))\\\\n_2=23.33

Number of bracelets from 12 1/3 foot string are 23.

Therefore, total number of bracelets she can make is 23 + 30 = 53.

Hence, this is the required solution.
