Given:
Measure of ribbon Kiara has =
Measure of ribbon Jillian has =
Now given:
Jillian says their ribbons are equal in length because her numerator is one more than kiara's and her denominator is one less, therefore balancing the two fractions.

can rewritten as
Measure of ribbon Kiara has = 0.25 inch
can be Rewritten as
Measure of ribbon Jillian has = 0.67 inch
