Brian has 5 2/3 ft of leather cord to use to make friendship bracelets he needs 1/2 foot of cord for each one how many bracelets can Brian make
To find out how many bracelets Brian can make, we need to divide the total length of leather cord by the length needed for each bracelet.
5 2/3 ft can be rewritten as an improper fraction: 5 + 2/3 = (5 * 3 + 2)/3 = 17/3 ft.
Dividing 17/3 ft by 1/2 ft/bracelet, we have (17/3) รท (1/2) = (17/3) * (2/1) = (17 * 2)/(3 * 1) = 34/3.
Therefore, Brian can make 34/3 or 11 1/3 bracelets.
