Answer:

50 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the each ribbon was x.

Now, she cuts 9 pieces of same length L which means total length is 9L.

Now, doing the same she was left with 5 inches of ribbon. Hence, we have

[tex[9L+5=x.....(1)[/tex]

Similarly, we can write a equation for the second situation.

2L+40=x......(2)

From equation 1 and 2,

9L+5=2L+40\\\\7L=35\\\\L=5

Plugging this value in equation 1,

9(5)+5=x\\\\x=45+5\\x=50

Therefore, the length of each ribbon when she bought them was 50 inches.

How can you use a number line to model and compare positive and negative rational numbers
kifflom [539]
Hello There!

Well, as you know a number line is a line where you can place numbers with different spaces between them. It can be used to compare them in distance (the further apart they are on the line, the greater the difference between the two numbers)

Hope This Helps You!
Good Luck :)
