Question

3.Ms. Taylor is doing an art project with her class. She has a 3 foot piece of ribbon. If she gives each student an eighth of a foot of ribbon, how many students will receive a piece of ribbon

Answer 1

24

Explanation:

To solve this problem, first you would need to figure out how many eighths of a foot are in 3 foot. If the pieces she gave away were 1/8 of a foot, 8 pieces would be in 1 foot. Next, multiply 8 by the number of feet there are (3).

8 x 3 = 24

So, 24 students would receive a peice.
