Answer:

15

Step-by-step explanation:

Mia take 1/4 and 1/10 hours to create a bracelet. This is 1/4 + 1/10 = 10/40 + 4/40 = 14/40 = 7/20.

It takes her a total of 7/20 hours to make the bracelet. She has 5 1/4 hours to work. To find the number of bracelets she can make divide 5 1/4 by 7/20.

Write first 5 1/4 as a mixed number. 21/4. Then rewrite it as multiplication with the reciprocal of 7/20 to divide fractions.

21/4 * 20/7 = 420/28 = 15

She will make 15 bracelets.
