Answer: 36 / 2 1/4

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Jared needs to drill holes 2 1/4 inches apart in a 36 inch section of his garage. The expression that he can use to figure out the number of holes he will need to drill will be:

= 36 ÷ 2 1/4

From the expression we can then calculate the number of hours to drill. This will be:

= 36 / 2 1/4

= 36 / 9/4

= 36 × 4/9

= 16

He'll need to drill 16 holes
