To find out how many 10 1/2 cm lengths of ribbon can be cut from a 50 cm ribbon and how much is left over, we can use basic division.
First, let's convert the 10 1/2 cm into a decimal. To do this, we can convert the fraction 1/2 into a decimal by dividing 1 by 2, which equals 0.5. So 10 1/2 cm can be written as 10.5 cm.
Now, we can divide the length of the ribbon (50 cm) by the length of each piece (10.5 cm) to determine how many complete lengths can be cut.
50 cm รท 10.5 cm = 4.76
However, since we can't have a fraction of a piece, we need to round down to the nearest whole number to find out how many complete lengths can be cut. In this case, we can cut 4 complete lengths of 10 1/2 cm from the 50 cm ribbon.
To find out how much is left over, we can multiply the number of complete lengths (4) by the length of each piece (10.5 cm) and subtract that from the original length (50 cm).
4 * 10.5 cm = 42 cm
50 cm - 42 cm = 8 cm
Therefore, there would be 4 lengths of 10 1/2 cm cut from a 50 cm ribbon, with 8 cm left over.
