Answer 1

Mariana wants to put 6 3/4 feet of a border across the top of a wall

She has 3 6/7 feet of border

 

fraction of the project can she complete = 6 3/4   /    3 6/7

 

                                                          =27/4    /  27/7

                                                          = 27 /4 * 7/27

 

                                                          = 7/4 = 1  3/4

fraction of the project can she complete = 1 3/4 feet
