Question

Marita is cutting rolls of ribbon that are 3 feet long into 1/2- foot pieces. She needs fifteen 1/2- foot pieces for a project. She has 3 rolls of ribbon. Does she have enough to cut 15 pieces? Explain.

Answer 1

Answer: Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

3 * 2 = 6. So you can get 6 1/2 foot pieces out of 1 roll. She has 3 rolls. 6 * 3 = 18. 18 is more than 15.
