For her Halloween party, Sandra crafts a jack-o'-lantern pinata with strips of colorful papers.If it takes five packets of colorful papers to make 452 1/2 strips, how many strips can bemade from one packet?

Respuesta :

Given:

Total packets taken = 5

Strips made=

[tex]452\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Now using unitary method, we have:

It takes 5 packets to make

[tex]452\frac{1}{2}=\frac{905}{2}[/tex]

It will take 1 packet to make

[tex]\begin{gathered} =\frac{905}{2\times5}\times1 \\ =\frac{181}{2} \\ =90\frac{1}{2} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore, the strips made from 1 packet will be 90 1/2.
