I think its because the first people who came here were originally close in distance (ie. most people came from England and places near England.) When we brought slaves over, the African people along with the native people to the Americas (the native Americans) had to learn to understand us to make peace, trade, and other stuff.

You want to cut bookmarks that are 6 inches long and 2 3/8 inches wide form a sheet of paper that is 13 inches long and 6 inches

OlgaM077 [116]

Think about it 13 divided by 6 can be 2 with a remainder. 6 divided by 2 (round it.) it's 3. Even if we rounded way up, to 3, 6 divided by 3 is still 2. You can make 2 bookmarks per sheet of paper
