Answer: 6

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Al has a roll of 4 feet which is 48 inches of ribbon. To calculate the number of 8-inch pieces can he cut from the roll, we have to divide the total roll which is 48 inches divided by 8 inches. This will be:

= 48 inches/8 inches

= 6

Therefore, Al can cut 6 8-inch pieces from the roll.
