Answers

  1. Answer:
    40 ribbons. 5/12 m of ribbon will be left
    Step-by-step explanation:
    Divide the total amount of ribbon by the length of each piece of ribbon:
    48 1/2 ÷ 1 1/5
    Convert the mixed numbers to improper or top heavy-fractions
    97/2 ÷ 6/5
    Keep – Change – Flip to turn into a multiplication problem
    97/2 × 5/6 = 485/12 = 40 5/12
    This means she can cut 40 whole ribbons and the remainder is 5/12 meters.
