Given:
Total length of long ribbon = 87.5
Length of each strip of the ribbon = 12.5
To find:
The number of ribbon strips.
Solution:
We know that,
[tex]\text{Number of ribbon strips}=\dfrac{\text{Total length of long ribbon}}{\text{Length of each strip of the ribbon}}[/tex]
We have,
Total length of long ribbon = 87.5
Length of each strip of the ribbon = 12.5
Putting the given values in the above formula, we get
[tex]\text{Number of ribbon strips}=\dfrac{87.5}{12.5}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Number of ribbon strips}=7[/tex]
Therefore, the correct option is B.
