A branch measuring 8 7/8 feet was cut from a tree. Crystal made walking sticks from the branch, each 2 3/16 feet long. She discarded 1/8foot of the branch. How many walking sticks did she make from the branch?

Respuesta :

4 4/2 she made for the branch

Answer: There are 4 walking sticks that she made from the branch.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Length of branch = [tex]8\dfrac{7}{8}=\dfrac{71}{8}\ feet[/tex]

Length discarded of the branch = [tex]\dfrac{1}{8}\ foot[/tex]

Remaining length of branch is given by

[tex]\dfrac{71}{8}-\dfrac{1}{8}\\\\=\dfrac{71-1}{8}\\\\=\dfrac{70}{8}[/tex]

Length of stick = [tex]2\dfrac{3}{16}\ feet=\dfrac{35}{16}\ feet[/tex]

So, Number of walking sticks would be

[tex]\dfrac{70}{8}\div \dfrac{35}{16}\\\\=\dfrac{70}{8}\times \dfrac{16}{35}\\\\=2\times 2\\\\=4[/tex]

Hence, there are 4 walking sticks that she made from the branch.
