In the particular experiment, each student uses 8.5 cm of ribbon.

The total length of the Mg ribbon present is 570 cm

so to find how many students can use the ribbon

number of students = total length of the ribbon / length each student uses

number of students = 570 cm / 8.5 cm/student = 67. 1 students

since it should be a whole number it should be 67

therefore 67 students can use the ribbon
