Question

Kayleen is using ribbon to wrap gifts. She cut her ribbon into four 16-inch pieces. After she cut the ribbon, there was a piece left over that was 5 inches long. How long was the ribbon before Kayleen cut it?

Answer 1

69 inches

Explanation:

The first four parts were each 16 inches, and the remaining fifth part was 5 inches long, so the total length of the ribbon before Kayleen cut it was (16*4)+5 = 64+5 = 69 inches (nice)
