Answer:
[tex]\frac{7}{8}[/tex] feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
Four sister bought a total of ribbon = [tex]3\frac{1}{2}[/tex] feet
= [tex]\frac{7}{2}[/tex] feet
The sisters want to share the ribbon equally.
So we will divide the total length of the ribbon by 4.
= [tex]\frac{7}{2}[/tex] ÷ 4
= [tex]\frac{7}{2}[/tex] × [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{7}{8}[/tex] feet.
Each sister will receive [tex]\frac{7}{8}[/tex] feet of ribbon.
