Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
-8/9 is the reciprocal i believe
Part A : 60miles would represent 4.8 inches
Part B : 1/4 inch would represent 3 and 1/8 miles
See the attached, the line going vertically is at -0.7.
STEP 1:
Divide the length of the ribbon by the size of the pieces.
12 inches= 1 foot
= 9 ft ÷ 15 inch pieces
convert ft to inches
= (12)(9) ÷ 15
= 108 ÷ 15
= 7.2 pieces from one roll
STEP 2:
multiply the number of pieces that can be cut from one roll by the number of rolls
= 7.2 pieces * 5 rolls
= 36 pieces total from 5 rolls
ANSWER: The greatest number of 15-inch pieces that can be cut from five 9-foot rolls is 36.
Hope this helps! :)
