Question

Basma cuts ribbon to its onto balloons for the carnival. She has 925.6 inches of ribbon in all. If each ribbon must be 24 inches long, how many ribbons can she cut? For the remainder in this problem you should: ignore it, round up, form a fraction with it.

Answer 1

Answer:

Basma can cut 38 ribbons.

For the remainder in this problem we should ignore it.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Length of the ribbon she has in all = 925.6 in

Length of each ribbon = 24 in.

We need to find the number of ribbons she can cut.

Solution:

Now we know that;

number of ribbons she can cut can be calculated by dividing Length of the ribbon she has in all by Length of each ribbon.

framing in equation form we get;

number of ribbons she can cut = $\frac{925.6}{24} = 38.57$

so we can say that;

Basma can cut 38 ribbons.

For the remainder in this problem we should ignore it.
