Jake has 1 yard of cloth. He makes bookmarks that are each 1 1/8 inches long.
Let’s find out how many bookmarks can he make.
Unit of conversion:
=> 1 yard = 36 inches.
Now, he divided it to 1 and 1/8 inches
=> 1 and 1/8 = 1.125 inches
So let’s divide this with 36 inches
=> 36 / 1.125 = 32
Thus jake can make a total of 32 bookmarks out of 1 yard of cloth with a measurement of 1 and 1/8 inches.
