Answer:

2/9 yards

Explanation:

Felicity cuts 27 equal strips from a 6-yard spool of ribbon. Which expressions show the number of yards for one strip of ribbon

From the above question:

27 equal strips of ribbon = 6 yards of spool

1 strip of ribbon = x yards

Cross Multiply

27 strips of ribbon × x yards = 6 yards × 1 strip of ribbon

x yards = 6/27

x yards = 2/9 yards

Therefore, for 1 strip of ribbon we need 2/9 yards
