Sean has 25 feet of blue ribbon.If this ribbon is cut into 8 equal pieces, what will the length be for each piece?
25/8 = ?
3.125. Am I correct?
Yes, you're correct.
fifteen-foot board is cut into 2 1/3
foot long pieces for a bookcase.
After as many pieces are cut, how long is the remaining piece?
To find the length of each piece when the 25-foot ribbon is cut into 8 equal pieces, we can divide the total length of the ribbon by the number of pieces.
The total length of the ribbon is given as 25 feet, so we divide this by the number of pieces, which is 8.
To find the length of each piece, we perform the following calculation:
25 feet ÷ 8 pieces = 3.125 feet
Therefore, each piece will be approximately 3.125 feet long.
