Answer:
24 bookmarks.
[tex]n = 12 \times (1 \div \frac{1}{2})[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Ed is making 1/2 foot long bookmarks out of leather strips.
Now, if he has 12 leather strips that each measure 1 foot long, then each of the 1-foot leather strip can be made into [tex]1 \div \frac{1}{2} = 2[/tex] half foot long bookmarks.
Hence, from all the 12 leather strips he can make (12 × 2) = 24 bookmarks.
So, the equation that represents the number of bookmarks that can be made will be, [tex]n = 12 \times (1 \div \frac{1}{2})[/tex] (Answer).
