Question

7 meters of ribbon was cut into 9 equal parts. What is the length of the each part? What is the total length of 3 such parts​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

How many pieces of ribbon with a length of 7/8 meters each can be cut from a roll of ribbon with a length of 56 meters?

To find out how many pieces of ribbon with a length of 7/8 meters each can be cut from a roll of ribbon that has a length of 56 meters, simply divide 56 by 7/8 as follows:

56 meters ÷ 7/8 meters/piece = 56 meters x (8/7) piece/meters

= (56/1) x (8/7) pieces

Note: The "meters" units cancelled each other out, leaving only "pieces".

= (56 x 8)/(1 x 7) pieces

= 448/7 pieces

= 64 pieces of 7/8 meters each in length can be cut from the 56 meter roll.

Answer 2

Answer:

77.78cm, 233.34cm

Step-by-step explanation:

7m is 700cm

$\frac{700}{9}$ = 77.78 cm

3 such parts = 77.78 x 3cm

                     = 233.34cm
