Question asked:
How many pieces of ribbon does Cleo have ?
Solution:
Total length of ribbon = 10 feet
He has used length of ribbon = 2 feet
Remaining length of ribbon = 10 - 2 = 8 feet
He cut remaining ribbon into = [tex]\frac{1}{6}foot[/tex]
Number of pieces of ribbon = [tex]8\div\frac{1}{6}[/tex]
= [tex]8\times6 = 48 pieces[/tex]
