Answer 1

Answer:

$2\frac{1}{6}\ frames$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

To find out how many frames she can  make with the exiting material, divide 1 5/8 by 3/4

so

$1\frac{5}{8}:\frac{3}{4}$

Convert mixed number to an improper fraction

$1\frac{5}{8}=\frac{1*8+5}{8}=\frac{13}{8}$

substitute

$\frac{13}{8}:\frac{3}{4}=\frac{52}{24}\ frames$

Simplify

$\frac{13}{6}\ frames$

Convert to mixed number

$\frac{13}{6}\ frames=\frac{12}{6}+\frac{1}{6}=2\frac{1}{6}\ frames$
