Question

Leah cut a 7-inch piece of ribbon into pieces that are each12 an inch long. How many pieces of ribbondid she cut?

A: 1 Pieces
B: 7 Pieces
C: 14 Pieces
D: 21 Pieces

Answer 1

14 pieces

Step-by-step explanation;

If Leah cuts a 7inch piece of ribbon into pieces that are 1/2inches each, to know the total number of pieces he cut, we only need to divide the 7inch piece by the 1/2 inch to have:

Total number of pieces = 7/(1/2)

Total number of piece = 7×2/1

Total number of pieces = 14 pieces

This means than Leah cuts the total number of 14pieces of ribbon

Answer 2

C. 14 pieces.

Explanation:

Givens

• The ribbon piece is 7 inches long.
• Each smaller piece is 1/2 inch long.

To find the total number of smaller pieces we can obtain from the 7 inches ribbon we just need to divide.

`n=(7in)/((1)/(2)in )=14`

Therefore, Leah would cut 14 smaller pieces of 1/2 inch long from a 7 inches ribbon.

So, the right answer is C.
