Question

1 Camille has 26 pieces of ribbon for making cards.

She needs 4 pieces of ribbon for each card.
How many cards can Camille make? How many
pieces of ribbon will be left over?

Answer 1

Camille can make 6 cards using 26 pieces of ribbon. She will have 2 pieces of ribbon left over.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of cards Camille can make, divide the total number of pieces of ribbon she has by the number of pieces needed for each card:

Number of cards = Total number of pieces of ribbon / Number of pieces of ribbon needed per card

Number of cards = 26 / 4 = 6 (rounded down)

Camille can make 6 cards. To find the number of pieces of ribbon left over, subtract the number of pieces used for the cards from the total number of pieces Camille has:

Number of pieces of ribbon left over = Total number of pieces of ribbon - (Number of cards * Number of pieces of ribbon needed per card)

Number of pieces of ribbon left over = 26 - (6 * 4) = 26 - 24 = 2

Camille will have 2 pieces of ribbon left over.

Camille can make 6 cards and will have 2 ribbons left
