Answer:

Each student gets 1.75 ft of ribbon

Explanation:

r × 4 = 7

First, divide the given factor by itself in order to get the variable by itself.

4 ÷ 4

Next, divide the product by the given factor bc what you do to the left, you must do to other side.

7 ÷ 4

Last, right down your new equation and find you solution.

New Equation: r = 1.75
