Answer 1

Divide the total number of yards (5 yards) by the bracelet size (18").

STEP 1:
convert total yards to inches

1 yard= 36 inches

= 5 yards * 36 inches
= 180 inches total


STEP 2:
divide total inches by bracelet size

= 180 ÷ 18 inch bracelet
= 10 bracelets


ANSWER: She can make 10 bracelets.
