Answer:
22 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Ok, so for this problem, you would like to find out how many 2/5 strips can go into 9. There are 2 ways to do this; draw the rope or you can just simplify.
Since we are looking for how any times 2/5 goes into 9, you just need to do 9÷2/5
=9/1*5/2
=45/2
Then you can simplify this if you would like. 45 does not go into 2 perfectly but 44 does. 44/2= 22 so the answer is 22 1/2.
