Cut a 2 yard spool into 5 equal length of ribbon. How long is each piece of ribbon?


Sagot :

(all of the stuff in the parenthesis in useless ) 1 yard = 3 feet, 2 yards = 6 feet divided by 5 - 1.2 feet is each sction 

For this case we must find the length of each piece of ribbon.

To do this, we divide the total length between the number of pieces.

We then have the following expression:

[tex]L = \frac {total \ length} {number\ of\ pieces}[/tex]

Substituting values:

[tex]L = \frac {2} {5}\\L = 0.4 yards[/tex]

Answer:

Each piece of ribbon is 0.4 yards long
