The ribbon was 3 1/4 inches wide and had an area of 19 1/2 square inches. What is the length of the ribbon? Please Help Will Giv

miv72 [106K]

Hello!

The formula for finding area is l × w

If the area is 19 ½ inches and it was 3 ¼ inches wide, then the length will be 19 ½ ÷ 3 ¼ (Area ÷ Width)

$19 \frac{1}{2} \div 3 \frac{1}{4}$

Change both to improper fraction

$19 \frac{1}{2} = \frac{39}{2}$

$3 \frac{1}{4} = \frac{13}{4}$

$\frac{39}{2} \div \frac{13}{4}$

Keep 39/2
Change ÷ to ×
Flip 13/4 = 4/13

$\frac{39}{2} \times \frac{4}{13} = \frac{156}{26} = 6$

$\framebox {The length of the ribbon is 6 inches}$
