Question

Mrs. Hinojosa had 75 feet of ribbon. If each of the 18 students in her

Answer 1

Answer:

4 feet 2 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Total Ribbon = 75 feet

Total Students = 18

If equally cut, each student will get the total divided by number of students, that would be:

75/18

That would be:

$\frac{75}{18}=\frac{25}{6}=4\frac{1}{6}$ feet per student

Now, we need the fractional part as inches.

We know 12 inches is 1 feet, so 1/6th feet is:

$(\frac{1}{6})*12=2$

The fractional part is "2 inches"

Thus,

each piece would be 4 feet 2 inches
