30 seconds every 15 minutes.
The total time passed was 8 hours and 16 minutes. 16 minutes late meant that the trip normally takes 8 hours. over 8 hours 16 minutes were lost. 16min divided by 8 hours is 2 minutes per hour. 2 minutes is 120 seconds (2*60). there are four 15 minute intervals in an hour so 120/4= 30 seconds per every 15 minutes.
Answer:
let length of Ribbon B l
Therefore
L=30
Ribbons cutted in ratio 5 is to 3
Therefore length of ribbonS
Be 30*5
=150

Therefore lengths of ribbons be 150 and 90
hope this helps :)
have a great day ahead!
Well, the fraction would be 80/100th's but if you wanted it simplified it would be 4/5th's. Hope I helped. :)
