Fractions strings

Question

Ana belle is making bracelets For the girls in her class. She has 2 1/2 ft of string and each bracelet uses 2/3 feet how many bracelets can anabelle make with her current amount of string?

Answer 1

2 1/2 ft = 5/2

5/2 and 2/3 needs to have common denominator which is 6

so 3*5=> 15 => 15/6 and 2*2=> 4=> 4/6

15/6 divided by 4/6 (because each one takes 4/6) => 15/4=>3 3/6 or 3 1/2

so 3 complete bracelets can be made
