Question

a manufacturer of bird feeders cuts spacers from a tube that is 6 6/11 inches long. How many spacers can be cut from the tube if each spacer must be 6/11

Answer 1

i think you are being asked for\[6\tfrac{6}{11}\div \frac{6}{11}\]

Answer 2

I think its 6 spacers

Answer 3

one way to do this is to first write
\[6\tfrac{6}{11}\] as
\[\frac{72}{11}\] then
\[\frac{72}{11}\div \frac{6}{11}=\frac{72}{11}\times \frac{11}{6}\]
cancel away

Answer 4

i think you guessed right?
