Question

Victor makes decorations for his birthday party. He needs 2/3 yard of ribbon for each decoration. How much ribbon does victor need to make 5 decorations?

Answer 1

10/3 or 3 1/3 yards of ribbon.. since each decoration needs 2/3 yard of ribbon, and he needs to make 5. You would do 2/3 x 5. That equals 10/3, this is an improper fraction, as a mixed number it would be 3 1/3. Hope this helped!

Answer 2

Answer: He would need 10/3 of ribbon which can be simplified to 3 and 1/3

Step-by-step explanation: multiply the amount you need for each decoration by the amount of decorations needed

2/3 × 5/1 = 10/3

we then divide 10 by 3

3 can go into ten 3 times leaving 1/3 left so we would have 3 and 1/3 as our mixed number
