jared needs to drill holes 2 1/4 inches apart in a 36 inch section of his garage. which expression can he use to figure out the number of holes he will need to drill

36 / 2 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Jared needs to drill holes 2 1/4 inches apart in a 36 inch section of his garage. The expression that he can use to figure out the number of holes he will need to drill will be:

= 36 ÷ 2 1/4

From the expression we can then calculate the number of hours to drill. This will be:

= 36 / 2 1/4

= 36 / 9/4

= 36 × 4/9

= 16

He'll need to drill 16 holes

the mistake in the pattern is that :

b. the decimal point was moved one too many place values each time

the correct pattern could be made by :

b. moving the decimal point to the right the same numbers of place values as the exponents
