Answer:


2(1)/(2) yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

Please find the attachment.

We have been given that Marisela cut four equivalent lengths of ribbon. Each was 5 eighths of a yard long.

To find yards of ribbon cut by Marisela, we will multiply 4 by 5 eighths of a yard (5/8).


\text{Total ribbon cut by Marisela}=4* (5)/(8)


\text{Total ribbon cut by Marisela}=(4* 5)/(8)


\text{Total ribbon cut by Marisela}=(20)/(8)

Express answer as the sum of whole number and the remaining fractional units:


\text{Total ribbon cut by Marisela}=(16+4)/(8)


\text{Total ribbon cut by Marisela}=(16)/(8)+(4)/(8)


\text{Total ribbon cut by Marisela}=2+(4)/(8)


\text{Total ribbon cut by Marisela}=2(4)/(8)

Therefore, Marisela cut
2(4)/(8) yards of ribbon.
