Question

There are 12 feet of ribbon in a roll. Tomas uses 34 foot pieces of ribbon to decorate gifts. How many gifts can he decorate with two rolls of ribbon?

a.Tomas can decorate 9 gifts with two rolls of ribbon.
b.Tomas can decorate 16 gifts with two rolls of ribbon.
c.Tomas can decorate 18 gifts with two rolls of ribbon.
d.Tomas can decorate 32 gifts with two rolls of ribbon.

Answer 1

I believe the answer is b. Tomas can decorate 16 gifts with 2 rolls of ribbon because you divide 34 into 2 and you get 17. and since you want to use all of the ribbon the best choice is 16 gifts. Btw plz don't report me if i get this wrong.


Hope this Helps!
