Question

Lily has a piece of ribbon that measure 3 yards 4 inches. She cuts the ribbon into 4 equal pieces. What is the length, in inches, of each piece of ribbon

Answer 1

Answer:

28 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The piece of ribbon that Lily has is 3 yards 4 inches long.

Let us first put this in inches:

1 yard = 36 inches

=> 3 yards = 3 ^ 36 = 108 inches

The length of Lily's ribbon is:

108 + 4 = 112 inches

She cuts the ribbon into 4 equal pieces.

To know the length of each piece, we divide the length of Lily's ribbon by 4:

112 / 4 = 28 inches

Each piece of ribbon is 28 inches long.
