Answer 1

Length of ribbon is 12metre
Length of piece is 1/3metre=12/1/3=24

Answer 2

$\underline{\bold{Solution:-}}$

Length of ribbon = 12 metre

It is cutted into the pieces of 1/3 metre length.

Length of each piece = 1/3 metre

Number of pieces

$= \frac{Length \: of \: ribbon}{Length \: of \: each \: piece} \\ \\ = \frac{12}{ \frac{1}{3} } \\ \\ = 12 \times 3 \\ \\ = 36$


So, we will get 36 pieces.
