Respuesta :

Answer:

22

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to divide 36 ft by 1 7/11 ft, and then round down if you don't get a whole number.

[tex]\dfrac{36~ft}{1 \frac{7}{11}~ft} =[/tex]

[tex]= \dfrac{36}{\frac{18}{11}}[/tex]

[tex] = \dfrac{36}{1} \times \dfrac{11}{18} [/tex]

[tex] = \dfrac{36 \times 11}{1 \times 18} [/tex]

[tex] = 22 [/tex]

Answer: 22
