How many pieces of ribbon 1 4/5 yd long can be cut a length of ribbon 9 yd long?
9/(9/5)
9 * (5/9)
45/9 = 5 pieces
Assignment-1 1 if a side of square is given 6cm than he would you get perimeter?
To determine how many pieces of ribbon, each measuring 1 4/5 yards, can be cut from a total length of 9 yards, we have to perform a division operation.
First, let's convert the mixed number 1 4/5 into an improper fraction:
1 4/5 = (5 * 1 + 4)/5 = 9/5
Now, we can divide 9 (the length of the ribbon) by 9/5 (the length of one piece of ribbon) to find the number of pieces that can be cut:
9 / (9/5) = 9 * (5/9) = 45/9 = 5
Therefore, you can cut 5 pieces of ribbon, each measuring 1 4/5 yards, from a length of 9 yards.
