To find the number of bracelets Bryan can make, we need to divide the total length of cord by the length needed for each bracelet.

Bryan has 5 2/3 feet of cord, which can be written as the improper fraction 17/3

Bryan needs 1/2 foot of cord for each bracelet.

To find the number of bracelets, we divide the total length of cord by the length needed for each bracelet:

17/3 ÷ 1/2 = (17/3) * (2/1) = 34/3

When we divide 34 by 3, we get 11 with a remainder of 1.

So, Bryan can make 11 whole bracelets and have 1/3 of a foot of cord left over.

Apologies for the mistake. Let's correct it:

To find the number of whole bracelets Bryan can make, we need to divide the total length of cord by the length needed for each bracelet.

Bryan has 5 2/3 feet of cord, which can be written as the improper fraction (3 * 5 + 2) / 3 = 17/3.

Bryan needs 1/2 foot of cord for each bracelet.

To find the number of bracelets, we divide the total length of cord by the length needed for each bracelet:

17/3 ÷ 1/2

To divide fractions, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction:

17/3 × 2/1 = (17 × 2) / (3 × 1) = 34/3.

To simplify the fraction, we can divide 34 by 3:

34 ÷ 3 = 11 remainder 1.

Therefore, Bryan can make 11 whole bracelets with 1/3 foot of cord remaining.
