Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the length of the plastic string is 3 3/4 feet = 15 / 4 feet.

Bracelets of 5/8 foot long is needed to be made. To determine the maximum number of bracelets that can be made; using the number line, 5/8 is subtracted repeated times from 15/4.

We can see that when 5/8 is subtracted 6 times from 15/4, the result is 0.

15/4 ÷ 5/8 = 6

Hence Tara can make 6 bracelets from the plastic sting.
