How many pieces of 4
Inches of ribbon can get from a roll of 25 feet ribbon?
(25 * 12) / 4 = ______ pieces
How many 1/8-foot pieces of ribbon can be cut from a roll of ribbon that is 2 1/4 feet long?
To find out how many pieces of 4 inches of ribbon you can get from a roll of 25 feet ribbon, you need to convert the measurements to the same unit. Let's start by converting the 25 feet to inches since the width we want to measure is in inches.
1 foot is equal to 12 inches, so multiply 25 (feet) by 12 (inches/foot):
25 feet * 12 inches/foot = 300 inches
Now, you have a roll of ribbon that is 300 inches long. To find out how many pieces of 4 inches of ribbon you can get from this roll, divide the total length of the ribbon by the length of each piece:
300 inches / 4 inches/piece = 75 pieces
Therefore, you can get 75 pieces of 4 inches of ribbon from a roll of 25 feet ribbon.
