Before attempting to solve any problem, make sure that the units are consistent. There are units of feet and inches. To be consistent,let's convert ft to in knowing that there are 12 inches in 1 ft.

9 ft*12 in/1 ft = 108 inches

Now, it also mentions that there are 5 of these. So, the total length would be:
Total Length = 108*5 = 540 inches

Finally, divide the total length to 15 inches.

Number of portions = 540/15 = <em>36 pieces of 15-inch ribbons</em>

Answer These Division Questions Please.(The / Are The Division Sign)
Slav-nsk [51]

It's completely correct to use the ' / ' sign for division.
Every fraction means division.  It means

         (the top number) divided by (the bottom number) .

These are easy to do on a calculator, and by now you should
also know how to do them with a pencil.

1).  5,320 / 61  =  87.213...  (plus more decimal places)

2).  776 / 28  =  27.714...  (plus more decimal places)

3).  1,624 / 23  =  70.608...  (plus more decimal places)

Caleb and Suzanne each have a pile of blue and white chips. Caleb determines in his pile,three out of every four chips is blue.
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

Total number of chips Caleb have = 8

Total number of chips Suzanne have = 30

Step-by-step explanation:

In Caleb case -

Three out of every four chips is blue

⇒ If Caleb has total chips = 4

Then Blue chips = 3

⇒White chips = 4 - 3 = 1

Now,

If Caleb have 6 blue chips

⇒3 Blue chips = 4 total chips

  1 Blue chip = \frac{4}{3} total chips

⇒6 blue chips = \frac{4}{3} ×6 = 4×2 = 8 total chips

∴ we get

Number of chips become = 8

In Suzanne case -

One out of every five chips are blue.

⇒ If Suzanne has total chips = 5

Then Blue chips = 1

⇒White chips = 5 - 1 = 4

Now,

If Suzanne have 6 blue chips

⇒1 Blue chips = 5 total chips

⇒6 blue chips = 5×6 = 30 total chips

∴ we get

Number of chips become = 30
