Answer:

  • 24 inches
  • 120 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The lengths can be found by considering their ratio:

  short : long = 1 : 5

The sum of the ratio units is 1+5 = 6, and the sum of the lengths is 144 inches. That means each "ratio unit" stands for (144 in)/6 = 24 inches of length.

The lengths are ...

  1 : 5 = 24 in : 120 in

The pieces are 24 inches and 120 inches in length.

__

Equivalently, you can let s represent the shorter length. Then 5s is the longer one, and their total is ...

  s +5s = 144

  s = 144/6 = 24

  5s = 5(24) = 120

The lengths are 24 inches and 120 inches.

Billy has 2.4 m of ribbon for crafts. He wants to share it evenly with 12 friends. Billy has been making craft projects for seve
Triss [41]

Answer:

140 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Total length of ribbon present with Billy = 2.4 m

This ribbon is to be shared with 12 friends evenly.

Billy is doing this work of making craft for the past many years.

To find:

How many centimeters of ribbon that 7 friends will get?

Solution:

First of all, let us find out what length of ribbon will each person get.

Length of ribbon to be shared with each person = Total length of ribbon divided by total number of persons

Length of ribbon to be shared with each person = \frac{2.4}{12} = 0.2\ m

Now, The length of ribbon that 7 friends will get = 7 \times 0.2 = 1.4 m

1 m = 100 cm

1.4 m = 1.4 \times 100 cm = <em>140 cm</em>
