Anna wants to put a wire fence around each of her dinosaur fossils. she has 16 1/2 ft of fencing. how many dinosaur fossils will ana be able to put a fence around if each fossil requires exactly 2 2/3 ft of fencing? note: you cannot have part of a fence

6

Step-by-step explanation:

You have 16 1/2 ft of fence, and each piece of fence is 2 2/3 ft. This is a division problem. You need to divide 16 1/2 ft by 2 2/3 ft.

First, we change each mixed numeral into a fraction.

To divide fractions, you multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.

The fencing material is enough for 6 and 3/16 fences, but since you cannot have a fraction of a fence, you can make 6 fences.
