Fiona Alvarez · Answer 2

Answer: 1.4375

Step-by-step explanation:

Pela has 5 3/4 feet of string to make necklaces. We would convert 5 3/4 feet to improper fraction. It becomes 23/4 feet. So Pela has 23/4 feet of string to make necklaces.

She wants to make 4 necklaces that are the same length. To determine how long should each necklace be,

We would divide the total length of the string by the number of necklaces to be made. It becomes

23/4 : 4 = 23/4 * 1/4 = 23/16

The length of each string is 23/16 or 1.4375 feet
