Question

Carter needs to wrap 6 presents. He lays the ribbon out flat and says if I make 6 equally spaced cuts I'll have just enough pieces. I can use 1 peice for each package, and I won't have any pieces left over. Does he have enough pieces to wrap the presents?

Answer 1

No. Every piece will loose length every time you cut it, therefore the length of you first piece will be longer then your last piece.
