To find the length of leather cord for one bracelet, we need to divide the total length of the leather cord by the number of pieces (bracelets) Yvonne wants to make.

Given:

  • Total length of leather cord = 475 inches
  • Number of pieces (bracelets) = 50

Now, we calculate the length for one bracelet:

\[ \text{Length of one bracelet} = \frac{\text{Total length of leather cord}}{\text{Number of pieces}} = \frac{475 \text{ inches}}{50} \]

Calculating the division:

\[ \frac{475}{50} = 9.5 \text{ inches} \]

Thus, the length of leather cord for 1 bracelet is 9.5 inches.

The correct answer is A: 9.5 in.
