Bryan has 5 2/3 feet of leather cord to use to make friendship bracelets. He needs 1/2 foot of cord for each one. How many whole bracelets can Bryan make?

Answer 1

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.

First, we have to convert 5 2/3 feet to an improper fraction.
5 2/3 = (5*3 + 2)/3 = 17/3

Next, we divide the total length of cord by the length needed for each bracelet.
17/3 ÷ 1/2 = 17/3 * 2/1 = (17*2)/(3*1) = 34/3

Since we only want whole bracelets, we round down to the nearest whole number.
34/3 rounded down is 11.

Therefore, Bryan can make 11 whole bracelets. Answer: \boxed{11}.
