Question

Leah cut 712 inch piece of ribbon into pieces that are each 34 of an inch long. How many pieces of ribbon did she cut? 6 pieces 6 pieces 9 pieces 9 pieces, 10 pieces 10 pieces 15 pieces

Answer 1

Answer: 10 pieces

Explanation:

Leah had a piece of ribbon that measured 7 1/2 inches.

She cut it into pieces that were 3/4 inches long.

To find out the number of pieces, divide the original length of the ribbon by the size of the pieces that were cut from it:

= 7 1/2 ÷ 3/4

Convert to improper fraction:

= 15/2 ÷ 3/4

Compute:

= 15/2 * 4/3

= 10 pieces
