^Look at it

OpenStudy (mathmale):

5 ft. times the conversion factor (12 in / 1 ft) will give you the length of the ribbon in inches. Try it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't get it

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

If it took all 5 feet, how many bracelets would be produced? If it took 2.5 feet, how many bracelets would be produced? If it took 1 foot, how many bracelets would be produced?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it well be 1.5

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

What will be 1.5? Please explain what you are doing, Answer my first question. If it took all 5 feet, how many bracelets would be produced?

OpenStudy (babynini):

Hello, dear! Let's look at this in steps, the first step is to answer the question: How many inches are there in a foot?

OpenStudy (babynini):

1 foot = ? inches

OpenStudy (babynini):

Incorrect. Try again.

OpenStudy (vickyisthesmartone123):

It equals....1 something i gave you a hint @5464456 Since you seem quite lost

OpenStudy (babynini):

1) how many inches are in a foot? 2) Divide the number of inches in a foot by 6 3) However many times the number of inches in a foot can be divided by 6, are how many bracelets can be made for each foot. 4) multiply that number by 5 (because of the 5 feet)

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

Dear Derrick, you CAN'T be that bad at it. It just isn't possible. We are left to conclude that you are just spamming OS and gaming the good people who have a desire to help. Please don't do that. Find some other way to entertain yourself.

OpenStudy (vickyisthesmartone123):

So once you find the number of inches a foot equals divide the number of inches in a foot by 6. Next, you find your answer. BUT you aren't done you have to multiply your answer by 5. (This is as easy as it gets @5464456 )

Please don't make this hard on yourself.
