Answer:
You pay $8
for 2
meters of ribbon
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us solve the question
∵ 1 meter of ribbon costs $3
∵ We need to find the cost of 2
meters
→ Separate the length of the ribbon to a whole number and a fraction
∵ The length of the ribbon = 2 m +
m
→ Multiply each part by the cost of 1 meter
∵ The cost of 1 meter = 3 dollars
∴ The cost of the ribbon = 3 × 2 + 3 ×
∴ The cost of the ribbon = 6 +
dollars
→ Change the improper fraction
to a mixed number
∵ 9 ÷ 4 = 2 
∴ The cost of the ribbon = 6 + 2 + 
∴ The cost of the ribbon = 8 + 
∴ The cost of the ribbon = 8
dollars
∴ You pay $8
for 2
meters of ribbon
