Question

Sara is cutting ribbon for a craft project. She has 4 feet of ribbon, which must be cut into 7 equal lengths. How long will each piece of ribbon be after she has finisjed cutting

Answer 1

4 ft = (12 * 4) = 48 inches

48/7 = 6.9 inches <==

or

4/7 = 0.57 ft <==

Answer 2

Answer: The length of each piece of ribbon that Sara cut is 0.57 feet

Explanation:

We are given:

Total length of the ribbon = 4 feet

Number of equal parts the ribbon has been cut = 7

To calculate the length of each equal part, we divide the total length by the number of equal parts:

`\frac{\text{Total length}}{\text{Number of equal parts}}`

Putting values in above equation, we get:

`\text{Length of each part}=(4feet)/(7)\\\\\text{Length of each part}=0.57feet`

Hence, the length of each piece of ribbon that Sara cut is 0.57 feet
