A dressmaker needs to cut 18-inch pieces of ribbon from rolls of ribbon that are 6 feet

1 answer:

4 0

You have 10 rolls and each is 6 feet so therefore you have 60 feet of ribbon. Convert that to inches you need to multiply by 12 so 60 x 12 = 720 inches of ribbon.
If the dress maker needs 18 inch pieces you divide to 720 by 18.
720 divided by 18 will give you 40 pieces.

Final answer:

The dressmaker will get 40, 18-inch pieces of ribbon from 10, 6 foot rolls.

<u>Question Correction</u>

Simon fills a container with 38 1-in, cubes. The container is a box of dimension 4 in. by 3 in. by 4 in.,How many more 1 in cubes does the container need to be completely filled?

Answer:

10 1-in cubes

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we determine the Volume of the box.

Volume of a Rectangular Prism =Length X Height X Width

Volume of the box = 4 X 3 X 4= 48 cubic inches

To fill the box container, we would need 48 1 in cubes.

Since Simon already filled the container with 38 1-in, cubes.

Number of 1-in. cubes required to fill the box

=48 -38

=10.

Simon would need 10 1-in cubes to fill the box.
