Jenn is cutting a long piece of wire into short pieces to make earrings. She is cutting from a wire that is 25 1/2 inches long. Each earring requires 3/4 of an inch of wire. How many earrings can Jenn make?

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given that the total lenght of the wire is 25 1/2 inches

in decimal, this is 25.5 inches

we are told that each earring requires 3/4 in of wire

in decimal this 0.75 in

Step two:

The number of earrings that can be mad is found by dividing the total length of wire by the length needed to make one earring

The number of earrings that can be made is given as

=25.5/0.75

=34 earrings

the answer is mc^1-1jpeg

7 ft 6 in means 7 1/2, because 6 in is 1/2 of a foot. 7 ft 8 in means 7 2/3 because 8 in is 2/3 of a foot. 23/3 = 7 2/3. 15/2 = 7 1/2.

23/3   *   15/2   = 57 1/2
