Answer:

[tex]2\frac{1}{6}\ frames[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

To find out how many frames she can  make with the exiting material, divide 1 5/8 by 3/4

so

[tex]1\frac{5}{8}:\frac{3}{4}[/tex]

Convert mixed number to an improper fraction

[tex]1\frac{5}{8}=\frac{1*8+5}{8}=\frac{13}{8}[/tex]

substitute

[tex]\frac{13}{8}:\frac{3}{4}=\frac{52}{24}\ frames[/tex]

Simplify

[tex]\frac{13}{6}\ frames[/tex]

Convert to mixed number

[tex]\frac{13}{6}\ frames=\frac{12}{6}+\frac{1}{6}=2\frac{1}{6}\ frames[/tex]
