Question

Henry has to wrap five presents for a birthday party and has a length of ribbon to make bows for the presents.

Answer 1

Answer:

Fraction of the original length of Ribbon used by Henry for each bracelet is $\frac{1}{16}$.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Length of Ribbon cut by Henry in 8 equal pieces and use five of pieces. then out of remaining length make six bracelets.

From the question,

Fraction of each piece of the ribbon will be   $\frac{1}{8}$.

Then

He use 5 pieces and the number of remaining pieces is 3.

Now,

He makes 6 bracelets from those 3 pieces left So, fraction is  $\frac{3}{6} = \frac{1}{2}$

Here,

Fraction of length of bracelet to the original ribbon length will be $\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{8}$

Hence,

Fraction of the original length of Ribbon used by Henry for each bracelet is $\frac{1}{16}$.
