The number of strips of 1 9/16 inches, that can be made from 8 1/2 inches of paper is <u>5 11/25</u>.

In the question, we are given that an 8 1/2 sheet of paper is being cut into 1 9/16 inch strip to make a paper chain.
We are asked the number of strips that can be made from one sheet of paper.

The size of the paper given to us is 8 1/2.

Converting this to an improper fraction, we get 8 1/2 = 17/2.

The size of the strip given to us is 1 9/16.

Converting this to an improper fraction, we get 1 9/16 = 25/16.

To find the number of strips, we just divide the total paper's size by the size of the strip, to get:

The number of strips = 17/2 ÷ 25/16,

or, the number of strips = 17/2 * 16/25,

or, the number of strips = 272/50,

or, the number of strips = 544/100,

or, the number of strips = 5 11/25.

Thus, the number of strips of 1 9/16 inches, that can be made from 8 1/2 inches of paper is <u>5 11/25</u>.

Can you help me in this question?
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

2m + 3m = 5m

9m - 5m = 4m

11m - 6m = 5m

Therefore, the expression 11m - 6m is equivalent to 2m + 3m
