Question 333608: A store sells storage bins that are 15 1/4 inches in length. Tom wants to line his wall with these bins. If his wall is 5 yards long, how many of these bins will fit along the wall? I tried 5 divided by 15 1/4, but the answer resulted did not seem correct. So I tried 15 1/4 divided by 5 and the answer was 3.04, but I am not sure if that is the correct answer, and I am not sure if I am doing the problem right either. I would greatly appreciate it if I get some help.
