Tony has a roll that has 1,234 inches of ribbon. He will cut as many 25-inch-long pieces of ribbon as possible off the roll. What length of ribbon will be left on the roll after all of the 25-inch pieces have been cut off?
9 inches
To find out how many 25-inch pieces of ribbon Tony can cut from the roll, divide the total length of the roll by 25:
1,234 inches ÷ 25 inches = 49.36
Since Tony can only cut whole pieces of ribbon, he will be able to cut 49 pieces of 25-inch ribbon.
To calculate the length of ribbon left on the roll, subtract the length of the pieces he cut off from the total length:
Total length - (Number of pieces x Length of each piece)
1,234 inches - (49 x 25 inches) = 1,234 inches - 1,225 inches = 9 inches
Therefore, he will have 9 inches of ribbon left on the roll after cutting all the 25-inch pieces.
To find the length of ribbon left on the roll, we need to divide the total length of the ribbon by the length of each piece that will be cut off.
1) Divide the total length of the ribbon by the length of each piece:
1,234 inches ÷ 25 inches = 49.36
2) Since Tony can only cut whole pieces of ribbon, we need to round down the number of pieces.
Therefore, Tony can cut off 49 pieces of 25-inch length ribbon.
3) Multiply the number of pieces by the length of each piece:
49 pieces × 25 inches = 1,225 inches
So, the length of ribbon left on the roll after all the 25-inch pieces have been cut off is 1,225 inches.
