PLEASE HELP

Jonathon has paper strips that are all equal in length. He lines them up end to end. When the line of paper strips is 3 feet long, Jonathon says there are 12 paper strips. What is the length, in feet, of one paper strip if Jonathon is correct?

Answer 1

The length of each paper strip is 0.25 ft.

Explanation:

It is given that Jonathon has paper strips and the length of all strips are equal.

He use 12 paper strips to make a line of paper strip and the length of the line is 3 feet.

Let the length of each paper strip be x.

`12x=3`

Divide both sides by 12.

`x=(3)/(12)`

`x=0.25`

Therefore the length of each paper strip is 0.25 ft.
