Genevieve is cutting a 60-inch piece of ribbon into a ratio of 2:3. Since 2 inches are frayed at one end of the ribbon, she will need to start 2 inches in.
There remains 60-2=58-inch piece of ribbon. Divide it into a ratio 2:3:
1. 2+3=5 the number of parts the ribbon is divided;
2. 58:5=11.6 in - the length of each part;
3. 11.6·2=23.2 in - the length of two parts;
4. 23.2+2=25.2 in - the point on the number line, where her cut will be.
Answer: 25.2 in
