Manny has a piece of ribbon that one third yard long. He cuts it into two equal length to make bookmarks .how long is the piece of ribbon?
(1/3) / 2 = (1/3) * (1/2) = 1/6 yard
What is the answer for this problem
To find the length of each bookmark, we need to divide the length of the ribbon, which is one-third yard, into two equal parts.
To divide the ribbon in half, we can perform simple division:
1/3 divided by 2 = 1/6 yard.
Therefore, each bookmark is 1/6 yard long.
