Length of rope bought by Sean = 68 3/4 inches = 275/4 inches Then The number of 15 inch rope that can be made by Sean = (275/4)/15 = 275/(4 * 15) = 275/60 = 4.58 So we can see from the above deduction that Sean can make 4 complete 15 inches ropes and there will be 0.58 inches of rope excess. <span>I hope
the procedure and the method of solving is absolutely clear to you. This is the
easiest way to get to the solution for such problems.</span>
