Jasmine is cutting a ribbon into equal sided pieces. If she has 5 feet of ribbon, how many wholes pieces 5/6 feet in length, can she make?
You're welcome, Amy.
5 / (5/6)
5 * (6/5) = 30/5 = 6
Thank u Ms.Sue
How can I find out if 5 feet length of each pieces equals to 5/6
It a whole duhdbddvvddbbdb
To find out how many whole pieces of 5/6 feet in length Jasmine can make from a 5-foot ribbon, we need to divide the total length of the ribbon by the length of each piece.
The length of each piece is 5/6 feet. The total length of the ribbon is 5 feet.
To divide these two values, we can use the following formula: Total length of ribbon / Length of each piece
Therefore, we have: 5 feet / (5/6) feet
To divide a fraction by another fraction, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction. The reciprocal of 5/6 is 6/5.
So the calculation becomes: 5 feet * (6/5)
Multiplying 5 by 6 gives us 30, and dividing 30 by 5 gives us 6.
Therefore, Jasmine can make 6 whole pieces of 5/6 feet in length from a 5-foot ribbon.
