Ms. Jefferson is laying out a photo page. Each photo is cut to 2 3⁄4 inches wide. How many photos can she fit in a row that is 19 2⁄5 inches long if there are no spaces between the photos?
First convert the mixed number into improper fractions. 2 3/4 = (4x2+3)/4 = 11/4 and 19 2/5 = (5x19+2)/5 = 97/5 Now divide the length 97/5 by the width 11/4. we get 97/5 ÷ 11/4 = 97/5 x 4/11 =388/55 =7.05≈ 7 Photos She can fit 7 photos in a row.
