Question

Isabella uses ribbon to make book marks. She uses 1/4 foot of ribbon for each bookmark. What is the total number of bookmarks Isabella makes.

Answer 1

it depends on the amount of ribbon she has

Answer 2

4

Explanation:

In this example, Isabella is using one (1) ribbon to make a bookmark. Each bookmark is made up of 1/4 of ribbon. 1/4 means that the ribbon is divided in four parts, and each one of these constitutes a ribbon. In other words:

1/4 + 1/4 + 1/4 + 1/4 =

4/4

= 1

Therefore, Isabella would be able to make 4 bookmarks with her ribbon.
