The answer is gonna be "A".
Here is the solution for the given problem above:
Given: 5/8 yard of ribbon = total length of the ribbon
1/12 yard = length of the ribbon after Tom cut it equally
? = number of pieces of 1/12 yard from 5/8 yard
So to divide fractions, here is the solution
5/8 divided by 1/12
5/8 multiplied by 12/1
5x12 is 60
8x1 is 8.
So 60/8 would be 7.5. Therefore, the number of pieces that was cut from the 5/8 ribbon is 7.5. Hope this answer helps.

Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
Since lines a, b, c, d, and XY are all parallel to each other, and are a part of the same triangle, they are all similar. Thus, we can compare rates -- the distance between P to Y is 12, and 2/3 of 12 is 8, so we need to find that length, which is C
The answer for this question is A.
