Respuesta :

Answer:

50 pockets

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Total = 75\ yd[/tex]

[tex]Pocket = 1\frac{1}{2}yd[/tex]

Required

Determine the number of pockets

To calculate the required , we make use of:

[tex]Pockets = \frac{75yd}{1\frac{1}{2}yd}}[/tex]

[tex]Pockets = \frac{75}{1\frac{1}{2}}}[/tex]

Convert the denominator to decimal

[tex]Pockets = \frac{75}{1.5}[/tex]

[tex]Pockets = 50[/tex]

Hence, she can lace 50 minutes
