To determine how many complete rings can be made out of a straight piece of wire of length 23.595m, we need to divide the length of the wire by the perimeter of each ring.
Step 1: Calculate the number of possible complete rings
Number of rings = Length of wire ÷ Perimeter of each ring
Number of rings = 23.595m ÷ 1.1m
Step 2: Divide the two numbers
Number of rings = 21.45
However, we need to remember that the number of rings must be a whole number since we cannot have a fraction of a ring. We can't have 21.45 rings, so we need to round down to the nearest whole number.
So, the number of complete rings that can be made out of the wire is 21.
