Question

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

Answer 1

Answer: 3

Step-by-step explanation:

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

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

= 1 1/2 ÷ 1/2

= 3/2 ÷ 1/2

= 3/2 × 2/1

= 3

They can make 3 ornaments
