1.       Given situation:
=> A piece of plywood is 24 inches wide
=> it will be cut into strips of 2 ½  inches wide.
Now, we need to find the numbers of strips in 24 inches plywood.
To do that, we simply need to divide 24 inches from 2 ½ inches.
=> Since 2 ½ is a mixed fraction (combination of whole number and fraction), we need to convert it into improper fraction.
=> 2 ½ = 5/2
=> 24 = 24/1

Now, we have 2 fractions. Let’s divide
=> 24 / 5
       1     2  
=>24  / 5 = 48 / 5
      1      2     2     2
=> 9.6 or 9 3/5

 Thus, there will be 9.6 or 9 3/5 of plywood strips.

Answer:

9 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

24/2.5 is 9.6 BUT 0.6 IS NOT A FULL PIECE, SO IT IS 9 INCHES
