Answer:

Ellen gave 24 inches of her ribbon to the friend.

Explanation:

The total length of ribbon Ellen has = 20 feet

Used to make pillows = 12 feet

Remaining ribbon = 20-12 = 8 feet

Given to her friend = 1/4

1/4 of 8 = 1/4 × 8 = 2 feet

so she gave 2 feet of ribbon to her friend.

so

2 feet in inches = 24 inches

Therefore, Ellen gave 24 inches of her ribbon to the friend.
