1 answer

To find the number of bracelets Ayub can make, we need to divide the total length of cord he has by the length of each bracelet. Ayub has 1 1/2 feet of cord, and each bracelet is 1/4 foot long.

To divide fractions, we multiply the first fraction (1 1/2) by the reciprocal (or flip) of the second fraction (1/4).

1 1/2 * 4/1 = (3/2) * (4/1) = 12/2 = 6

Therefore, Ayub can make 6 bracelets.

The answer is A. 6 bracelets.
