A ribbon 63 meters long must be cut into pieces that are each 2 1/4 meters long how many pieces of ribbon will there be after it cut ?
I think you do 63 divide 2 1/4 and you get 28 pieces I just want to know if that's right
check : 28*2 1/4= 56+7=63
Well the answer are
A 28 B 31 1/2
C 27 D 141 3/4
Yes, 28 is correct.
I say it is correct because he or her did it the right eay
To determine the number of pieces, you should divide the total length of the ribbon (63 meters) by the length of each piece (2 1/4 meters). Here's how you can do it step-by-step:
1. Convert the mixed number 2 1/4 into an improper fraction.
2 1/4 = (2 * 4 + 1) / 4 = 9/4
2. Divide 63 by 9/4.
To divide by a fraction, invert the fraction and multiply.
63 * 4/9 = 28
So, after cutting the ribbon into 2 1/4 meter pieces, there will be 28 pieces of ribbon. Your answer of 28 pieces is correct!
