14 pairs of earrings

Step-by-step explanation:

Question

Navya has 10 ¹/₂ feet of craft wire that she uses to make earrings.  If each pair of earring requires 3/4 foot of wire, how many pairs of earrings is Navya able to make.

Given:

  • Total wire = 10 ¹/₂ ft
  • Wire required to make 1 pair of earrings = 3/4 ft

To calculate the number of pairs of earrings Navya can make, divide the total amount of wire by the wire required to make 1 pair of earrings:

[tex]\begin{aligned}\implies \sf 10\frac{1}{2} \div \dfrac{3}{4} &= \sf \dfrac{21}{2} \div \dfrac{3}{4}\\ \\& = \sf \dfrac{21}{2} \times \dfrac{4}{3}\\ \\& = \sf \dfrac{21 \times 4}{2 \times 3}\\ \\& = \sf \dfrac{84}{6}\\ \\& = \sf 14 \end{aligned}[/tex]

Therefore, Navya can make 14 pairs of earrings.
