2) Olivia requiredOlivia required 39/4 yards of rope to make a giant spider web in her backyard. How manysuch webs can she make with 68 1/4 yards of rope?

Answer 1

Given:

Requirement of rope to make a spider web:

$\frac{39}{4}$

Available rope to make such webs =

$68\frac{1}{4}=\frac{273}{4}$

Number of webs are given by:

$\begin{gathered} =\frac{\frac{273}{4}}{\frac{39}{4}} \\ =\frac{273}{39} \\ =\frac{91}{13} \\ =7 \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the number of webs required =7
