Answer 1

Explanation:

Well, the paper is being cut into strips. In other words, the paper is being divided. Therefore, we can divide 8 1/2 by

1 9/16 to find the amount of strips of paper that can be made.

`8 (1)/(2) / 1 (9)/(16)`

Change the mixed numbers to an improper fraction.

`(17)/(2) / (25)/(16)`

Next, use KCF (keep, change, flip) to divide the fraction.

`(17)/(2) * (16)/(25) = (272)/(50) = 5 (22)/(50)`

About 5 whole strips of paper in that size can be made from that one sheet of paper.
