Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Total length of ribbon = 1 yard
Length of ribbon used for project = 
yard
Length of ribbon the rest of ribbon is to be divided = 
yard
To find:
The number of ribbons of length yard that can be made = ?
Solution:
Length of ribbon left after the 1 yard ribbon is used for project can be calculated by subtracting the length of ribbon used from the initial length of ribbon.
i.e.
Length of ribbon left = 
yard
Now, number of ribbon of length yard can be found be dividing the length of ribbon left with the length of ribbon pieces to be cut.
i.e.
Number of ribbons:
Answer: 3/5
Step-by-step explanation: To find the reciprocal of 1 and 2/3, we first need to convert 1 and 2/3 to an improper fraction.
To write a mixed number as an improper fraction, first multiply the denominator times the whole number, then add the numerator.
So here, we multiply the denominator, 3, times the whole number, 1, then we add the numerator. So we have (3 x 1) + 2 or 3 + 2 which is 5.
Now we put our new number over our old denominator and we get 5/3.
However, we're not done yet. We still need to find the reciprocal.
The reciprocal describes a fraction so when we're asked to find the reciprocal of 5/3, we want to switch the numerator and denominator.
So if we switch 5/3, we get the proper fraction 3/5.
Therefore, the mixed number 1 and 2/3 is equivalent to the improper fraction 5/3, and if we switch the top and bottom numbers, we get 3/5.
Answer:
5x+8=26.50
Step-by-step explanation:
Because the books are equal in price, we can use x to represent the price of the books and 5 to represent the amount, so it would be written as 5x. Then we add 8 because that's the price of the one DVD. It tells the total is 26.50, so the full equation written would be <u>5x+8=26.50</u>
Studio = 7 yards by 4 yards
Area = 7*4 = 28 square yards.
Area of square carpet = 1 yard * 1 yard = 1 square yard
Number needed = Area of studio / Area of square carpet = 28 / 1 = 28
Number needed = 28
