Question

Cut a 2 yard spool into 5 equal length. How long is each piece of ribbon in feet

Answer 1

I don't know, if the 2 yard spool is ribbon, this could be a different ribbon we are talking about but assuming that the 2 yard spool cut into 5 pieces is what you are speaking of then it would be 1.2 feet per length, because one yard is 3 feet, so 6 feet cut into 5 parts, so 1.2 feet. for each part. 

Answer 2

2/5 of a yard (0.4)

1.2 feet
