Answer:
13/6m
Step-by-step explanation:
6 11/2-2/3
=23/2(conversion of mixed fraction to improper fraction)
=23/2-2/3
=lcm of 2 and 3=6
=23×3/2×3-2×2/3×2
=69/6-4/6
=65/6
65/6÷5/1 (5/1 is only 5)
=65/6×1/5 (while dividing fractions do the reciprocal of second fraction and multiply it)
=65/30=13/6
Hence,each small piece of ribbon=13/6m.
