What I understand from the picture given, she had 2 ribbons with the length of 1/4.
These would be the two shortest ones.
So: 1/4 + 1/4 = 2/4
= 1/2
I hope this helps and I know that it is different to what HimyBrainy put but it is what I understood! :/
Each bottle costs seven dollars. Two of them would cost $14 and three would cost $21. Buying three bottles, the amount is $21 which exceeds $16. Therefore, a $5 discount will be given. Subtracting $5 from the $21 will give $16. You have just enough amount to buy THREE bottles of olive oil.
Example Problems<span>Find the value of "x": 5x = 25. Step 1 : The product is 25 and the given divisor is 5 . Given 5x = 25 . Divide by 5 on both the sides. 5 x 5 = 25 5 . ...<span>Find the value of "x" : 7x = 56; Step 1 : The product is 56 and the given divisor is 7. Given 7x = 56 . Divide by 7 on both the sides. 7 x 7 = 56 7 .</span></span>
