Question

A ribbon is divided equally into 8 pieces for the school projects. If the length of each piece is 2512 metres, how long was the ribbon?
Write your answer in the mixed fraction form.

Answer 1

Answer:

(Let the length of the ribbon be x)

So, equation:

x/8 = 2512 metres

x = 2512 *  8

x = 20,096

Therefore, length of the ribbon is 20,096 metres.
