The location of Genevieve's cut will be at; 25.2 in
- We are told that she is cutting a 60 inch piece of ribbon into a ratio of 2:3.
- Now, 2 inches are frayed at one end of the ribbon and she starts 2 inches in with 2 indicated on the number line. Thus;
length available for her to cut = 60 - 2 = 58
- Now, the ratio is 2:3. Thus, the length of the parts will be; 2/5 and 3/5.
She starts the counting from the frayed end. Thus, the point of cutting will be;
2/5 × 58 = 23.2
- Now, since the number line starts from 0 to 60, we will begin our counting from 0 and since she skipped 2 numbers which is the 2 inches that was frayed, we will add 2 to 23.2 to get the exact place her cut will be located.
Location of cut = 2 + 23.2
Location of cut = 25.2 inches
