Beth is making a rope ladder each step of the ladder is 2 1/3 feet wide width as a rope that is 21 feet long how many steps can she make from the rope

She can make 9 steps from the rope.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The width of each step of the ladder = 2\dfrac{1}{3}\text{ feet}2

3

1

feet = \dfrac{2(3)+1}{3}=\dfrac{7}{3}\text{ feet}

3

2(3)+1

=

3

7

feet

The length of the rope = 21 feet

Then , the number of required steps = ( length of the rope ) ÷ (width of each step of the ladder)

=21\div\dfrac{7}{3}=21÷

3

7

=21\times\dfrac{3}{7}=3\times3=9=21×

7

3

=3×3=9

Hence, the number of steps can she make from the rope = 9.
