Answer:
3 7/8
Step-by-step explanation:
6 1/4 = 25/4 and 2 5/8 = 19/8
25/4 - 19/8 = 3 7/8
Answer:
5.66 inches
Step-by-step explanation:

a² + 7² = 9²
a² + 49 = 81
a² + 49 - 49 = 81 - 49
a² = 32
a = square root of 32
a = 5.6568 or 5.66 inches
I used the Pythagorean Theorem to solve this.
2/3=x/12
Use cross multiply
2*12=3*x
24=3x
Divided both side by 3
24/3=3x/3
x=8
Check:
2/3=x/12
Substitute x with 8
2/3=8/12
2/3=(8/4)/(12/4)
2/3=2/3. As a result, x=8. Hope it help!

Each roll is 9' long,
length of each roll = 9' * (12"/foot) = 108"
Each ribbon piece = 15", so number of ribbons per roll
=108/15=7 with 3" left over, which is assumed not possible to be joined with other pieces.
Therefore, with 5 rolls, there are 7*5=35 pieces of ribbon, with 5 pieces or 3" left over.
1. -100 is the correct answer
