Answer:
The greatest number of 15 inches pieces that can be cut from 5 rolls of length 9 feet is: 35
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Total length of one roll of ribbon = 9 feet
As the pieces have to be cut into inches, we will convert the measurement in feet to inches
As there are 12 inches in one feet, 9 feet will be equal to:
9*12 = 108 inches
Now first of all, we have to see how many 15 inches pieces can be cut from one role
So,
So the seamstress can cut 7 15-inch long pieces from a roll.
Now given that he has to cut from 5 rolls, the total number of 15-inch pieces will be:
Hence,
The greatest number of 15 inches pieces that can be cut from 5 rolls of length 9 feet is: 35
