Question

geeta had a 11 and 1/4 m long ribbon .she cuts into 9 equal places. find the lenghth of each ribbon.

Answer 1

$11\frac{1}{4}$m = 11.25m

11.25 ÷ 9 = 1.25

Each ribbon is 1.25m (or $\frac{5}{4}$m) long.

Answer 2

she had 11 1/4 long ribbon = 11*4+1/4=45/4

she cuts 45/4 into 9 equal pieces

so length of each ribbon = 9*4/45=36/45=4/5

so length of each ribbon= 4/5 m .

hope it helps you.. :-)
