Mario is setting up a new tent during a camping trip. the tent came with 7 feet of rope. the instructions are to use 34.5 inches of rope to tie a tarp on top of the tent. then the remaining rope should be cut into 8 1/4 inches sections to tie a tent to states in the ground. mario will use all the rope as instructed. determine the number of 8 1/4 inch sections of rope mario can cut from the rope.

There are 6 sections of    of rope Mario can cut from the rope .

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Length of the rope for the tent = 7 feet

As we know that

Length of rope is used to tie a tarp on top of the tent = 34.5 inches

Remaining length of rope is given by

According to question, the remaining rope should be cut into

So, Number of   sections of rope Mario can cut from the rope is given by

Hence, there are 6 sections of rope Mario can cut from the rope .

6

Step-by-step explanation:

Mario has 7 feet of rope.  Since there are 12 inches in every foot, this means he has

7(12) = 84 inches of rope.

34.5 inches of the rope must be used to tie the tarp to the top; this leaves Mario with

84-34.5 = 49.5

This remaining rope will be cut into 8 1/4 inch sections.  We can also write 8 1/4 as 8.25.  To find the number of sections this length he can cut, we divide:

49.5/8.25 = 6

He can cut 6 sections this length.
