Niall is making cards for his friends. He has 30 inches of ribbon, and each card takes 2.5 inches of ribbon. Using the equation 2.5x=30, which answer is the correct interpretation of the solution?(1 point) Responses 30 inches 30 inches 30 cards 30 cards 12 inches 12 inches 12 cards
The correct interpretation of the solution is "12 cards."
This is because the equation 2.5x = 30 is solving for the number of cards, represented by x, that Niall can make with 30 inches of ribbon. To find the solution, we divide both sides of the equation by 2.5:
2.5x/2.5 = 30/2.5
x = 12
Therefore, Niall can make 12 cards with 30 inches of ribbon.
