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. \n" ); document.write( "

A store sells storage bins that are 15 1/4 inches in length.
\n" ); document.write( " Tom wants to line his wall with these bins.
\n" ); document.write( "If his wall is 5 yards long, how many of these bins will fit along the wall?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "First of all you have to convert 5 yd to inches, (bins are 15.25 inches)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "5 * 36 = 180 inches is the length of the wall
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "\"180%2F15.25\" = 11.8, therefore 11 bins
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ";
\n" ); document.write( "Check this: 11 * 15.25 = 167.75 inches
\n" ); document.write( "180 - 167.75 = 12.25 inches, not enough for another 15.25\" bin \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
