Answer:
[tex]N_t=6.455\ yards[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that:
Total String [tex]N=71/2[/tex]
Strip size [tex]N_s=11/2[/tex]
Generally the equation for Total Number of strip cut [tex]N_t[/tex] is mathematically given by
[tex]N_t=\frac{N}{N_s}[/tex]
Therefore the strips of string can she cut with 7 1/2 yards is Given as
[tex]N_t=\frac{71/2}{11/2}[/tex]
[tex]N_t=\frac{71}{2}*\frac{2}{11}[/tex]
[tex]N_t=\frac{71}{11}[/tex]
[tex]N_t=6.455\ yards[/tex]
