Sonia bought ribbon to decorate a gift box.she used 1/4 of the ribbon to make a bow and 1/8 to tie around the box .how much ribbon does she use?
Answer kaise aaya
R is amount of ribbon bought
R*1/4 + R*1/8 is amount she used, or
3/8 of the ribbon was used.
To find out how much ribbon Sonia used in total, you need to add the fraction she used to make the bow and the fraction she used to tie around the box.
Fraction used to make the bow: 1/4 of the ribbon
Fraction used to tie around the box: 1/8 of the ribbon
Since you need to add the fractions, you need to find a common denominator that both 4 and 8 can divide into. In this case, the least common denominator is 8.
Now, let's convert the fractions to have a denominator of 8:
1/4 can be multiplied by 2/2 to get 2/8.
1/8 stays the same.
Now you can add the fractions:
2/8 + 1/8 = 3/8
Therefore, Sonia used 3/8 of the ribbon in total.
To find out how much ribbon Sonia used, we need to add together the portions of ribbon she used to make the bow and tie around the box.
First, let's calculate how much ribbon Sonia used to make the bow. The fraction given is 1/4, which represents one-fourth of the entire ribbon. To find the total amount of ribbon used for the bow, we divide the ribbon into four equal parts and take one of those parts:
Total ribbon used for the bow = 1/4 of the ribbon
Next, we'll calculate how much ribbon Sonia used to tie around the box. The given fraction is 1/8, which represents one-eighth of the entire ribbon. To find the total amount of ribbon used for tying the box, we divide the ribbon into eight equal parts and take one of those parts:
Total ribbon used for tying the box = 1/8 of the ribbon
Finally, we need to add together the amounts of ribbon used for the bow and the box:
Total ribbon used = Total ribbon used for the bow + Total ribbon used for tying the box
So, to find out how much ribbon Sonia used in total, you would need to add the fractions 1/4 and 1/8. LCM (Least Common Multiple) will be helpful here, which in this case is 8.
1/4 + 1/8 = 2/8 + 1/8 = 3/8
Therefore, Sonia used 3/8 of the entire ribbon.
