Bath and 1 yard of ribbon. She is 1/2 yard for project. She wants to divide the rest of the ribbon into pieces 1/4 yards long. H

ikadub [295]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total length of ribbon = 1 yard

Length of ribbon used for project = $\frac{1}{2}$ yard

Length of ribbon the rest of ribbon is to be divided = $\frac{1}{4}$ yard

To find:

The number of ribbons of length $\frac{1}{4}$ 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 = $1-\frac{1}{2} =\frac{1}{2}$ yard
