Elena is binding a small booklet with a spine that is 21/4 inches long. She uses staples that are 7/16-inch long. If she puts the staples end-to-end through the booklet, without gaps or overlaps between them, how many staples would it take to bind the booklet?

12 staples

Step-by-step explanation:

So the first thing we have to do is find the G.C.D (Greatest Common Denominator) between 21/4 and 7/16 which of course is 16 so your new fractions would be 84/16 and 7/16.

Now we have to divide both numbers I just used a fraction calculator for this but basically you multiply 84/16 by the reciprocal of 7/16 which is 16/7 and simplify which equals 12.

So it would take 12 staples to bind the booklet

to find the unit price, we must figure out the cost of one item (in this case one dish towel).   to do this, we divide the total price ($7.92) by the number of items bought (for this problem it is 8, because there are eight dish towels in one pack).  

$7.92/8 = $0.99

therefore, the unit price, or the price of one dish towel, is $0.99.

hope this !

step-by-step explanation:

this is correct because:

x-6=0

0*x=0

so
