Question

Sara is cutting ribbon for a craft project. She has 4 feet of ribbon, which must be cut into 7 equal lengths. How long will each piece of ribbon be after she has finisjed cutting

Answer 1

Answer: The length of each piece of ribbon that Sara cut is 0.57 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given:

Total length of the ribbon = 4 feet

Number of equal parts the ribbon has been cut = 7

To calculate the length of each equal part, we divide the total length by the number of equal parts:

$\frac{\text{Total length}}{\text{Number of equal parts}}$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Length of each part}=\frac{4feet}{7}\\\\\text{Length of each part}=0.57feet$

Hence, the length of each piece of ribbon that Sara cut is 0.57 feet

Answer 2

4 ft = (12 * 4) = 48 inches

48/7 = 6.9 inches <==

or 

4/7 = 0.57 ft <==
