Question

How to solve this one

Answer 1

Answer: 18 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is essentially asking us to divide 12 by 2 and then add the quotient to the length of the green ribbon. Let me explain:

The green ribbon is 12 cm long. The question tells us that the blue piece is half the length of the green one. Well, what's half of 12? 6! So...

Green ribbon: 12 cm

Blue ribbon: 6 cm

To find what the total length of both the ribbons is, we just need to add the lengths together.

12 + 6 = 18 cm

Hope this was helpful! let me know if you have any further questions. :)

Answer 2

if the blue piece is half of the length of green, which is 12, then the blue piece would be 6cm long. 12 + 6 would represent the total length of both pieces, which is 18.
