Question

Students are making ornaments and each takes 1/4 of a piece of Bristol board. They go to the cupboard and find 2 1/2 pieces of Bristol board. How many ornaments can they make?

Answer 1

Answer: 10 ornaments

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that students are making ornaments and each takes 1/4 of a piece of Bristol board. We are further told that they go to the cupboard and find 2 1/2 pieces of Bristol board.

The number of ornaments that they make will be gotten by dividing 2 1/2 by 1/4. This will be:

= 2 1/2 ÷ 1/4

= 5/2 ÷ 1/4

= 5/2 × 4/1

= 10

They can make 10 ornaments
