Here is the correct answer, and explanation for how to get the answer, and a way to remember how to use them for next time :)
Answer: 34.29cm
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, we are informed that Billy has 2.4 m of ribbon for crafts and that he wants to share it evenly with 12 friends.
The number of centimeters of ribbon that each of the 7 friends would get will be gotten by dividing 2.4m by 12. We can solve this by first converting 2.4meters to centimeters. This will be:
= 2.4meters = 2.4 × 100cm = 240 centimeters.
We then divide 240cm by 7. This will be:
= 240cm/7
= 34.29cm
