Question

Nicole used 3/8 of her ribbon to wrap a present. If she used 6 ft of ribbon, how much ribbon do Nicole have first?

Answer 1

Lemme solve this

3/8 of her total ribbon was used. 3/8= 6 feet

6 divided by 3 equals 2.

2= 1/8
Let us find how much she had first

2 x 8 = 16


She had 8/8 of the ribbon, or 16 feet, when she first had it
