Answer 1

The length of each ribbon is 1.6 inches

Explanation:

From the question, we are told that:

Kenedi has a piece of ribbon that measures 24 inches long. She cuts the ribbon into 15 equal pieces to attach to her dance costume

Hence, the expression that can be used to show how to calculate the length of each piece of ribbon is given as:

24 inches ÷ 15 pieces

= 24 ÷ 15

= 1.6 inches

Therefore, the length of each ribbon is 1.6 inches
