Allison is making party favors. She has a roll of ribbon that is 4 1/3 feet long. Each favor needs 1/3 feet of ribbon. How many favors can she make?

Respuesta :

Answer:

13 favors

Step-by-step explanation:

Roll of ribbon = 4 1/3 feet long.

favor = 1/3 feet of ribbon

How many favors can she make?

Number of favors = Total roll of ribbon / length of each favors

= 4 1/3 feet ÷ 1/3 feet

= 13 / 3 × 3 / 1

= (13 × 3) / (3 × 1)

= 39 / 3

= 13

Number of favors = 13

Allison can make 13 favors from 4 1/3 feet of ribbon each of 1/3 feet
