Answer 1

Answer:

Smallest Part is 15 So,

5x15=75

6×15=90

10×15=150

now add these all

75+90+150= 315

Length of the ribbon is 315 inches

Answer 2

Answer:

142.8m

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio =5:6:10

Let x be the multiple

Then

R=5x,6x ,10x

Total length =300m

5x+6x+10x=300

21x=300

x14.28

The length of each piece

5x=5×14.28=71.m

6x=6×14.28=85.68

10x=10×14.28=142.8m
