Answer 1

The correcct answer is Option C. To find the length of each piece, divide the length of the ribbon by the number of equal pieces. The answer is 1/12 foot.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the length of each piece, we need to divide the length of the ribbon by the number of equal pieces. The ribbon is 1/4 foot long. Dividing it by 3 gives us:

1/4 foot ÷ 3 = 1/12 foot

Therefore, each piece is 1/12 foot long. So, the answer is C. 1/12 foot.
