First of all, I find it easiest to write n equation.
3 / 15 x 8 =
Now that we have an equation, we can figure out a solution.
3 / 15 = 5
5 x 8 = 40
So 8 DVD's would cost $40.00.
Take a picture so we can easily understand what you put down
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! :)
