Answer 1

0.125 meters

Explanation:

Eloise's aunt cut 9.5 meters of ribbon into 4 equal sections and gave one of those sections to Eloise.

The length of the ribbon given to Eloise

= 9.5 meters/4

= 2.375 meters

Her friend Amelie has 2.5 meters of ribbon.

How much more ribbon does Amelie have than Eloise?

This is calculated as:

Number of meters of ribbon Amelie has - Number of meters if ribbon Eloise has

= 2.5 meter - 2.375 meters

= 0.125 meters

Therefore: Amelie has 0.125 meters of ribbon more than Eloise
