Question

The cost of 8 meters of ribbon is $5.60.

A) What will be the cost of 5 meters of ribbon?
B) How many meters of ribbon can I buy with $16.80?

Answer 1

Ok For A should be 3.50 For 5 Meters which in Centimeter is 500. For B you can get 24 meters of ribbon

Explanation:

This is how you do it convert the meters to centimeter then see how much the ribbon cost per centimeter which is 0.007

8 meters to centimeters = 800

0.007 x 800 = 5.60

Then for B 24 Meters to Centimeters = 2,400

0.007 x 2,400 = 16.80
