In 3 metres there are 300 centimetres. Each centimetre on the scale is 300 centimeters, or a ratio of 1:300. The tree is 5 centimetres on the scale. Each centimeter on the scale is 300 centimetres, therefore 5 centimetres on the scale is 1500 centimetres. 1500 centimetres is equal to 15 metres.
Bella can cut 24 pieces of ribbon from this long strip
<u>Solution:</u>
Given that Bella has 85 feet of ribbons in total
She needs identical strips of ribbon measuring 3.5 feet each
To find: Number of peices of ribbon can she cut from long strip
Number of peices of ribbon can she cut from long strip can be calculated by dividing the total feet of ribbon she has by length of identical strips she needs
<em><u>Mathematically written as:</u></em>


Hence , the number of strip can be 24 each of size 3.5 feet
