Ayub is making ¼ foot long bracelets for each of his friends. He has 1 ½ feet of cord to make the bracelets. How many bracelets can he make?

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

First, we need to convert 1 ½ feet to a fraction. Since there are 12 inches in a foot, 1 foot is equal to 12/12 = 1.

So, 1 ½ feet is equal to 1 + ½ = 1 + 6/12 = 12/12 + 6/12 = 18/12 = 1 ½.

Now we can divide 1 ½ by ¼ to find the number of bracelets Ayub can make:

(1 ½) ÷ (¼) = (3/2) ÷ (1/4) = (3/2) x (4/1) = (3x4)/(2x1) = 12/2 = 6.

Therefore, Ayub can make 6 bracelets. Answer: \boxed{6}.
