Answer:
a. [tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex] yard
b. 1.2 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
a. Jackie cut a 2-yard spool into 5 equal length of ribbon.
We will divide 2 yard by 5 = 2 ÷ 5 = [tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex] yard
5 units = 2 yard
1 unit = [tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex] yard
Check : [tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{10}{5}[/tex] = 2
b. Length of each ribbon in feet
Since 1 yard = 3 feet
therefore, 2 yard = 3 × 2 = 6 feet
6 feet in to 5 equal part = 6 ÷ 5
= 1.2 feet
check : 1.2 + 1.2 + 1.2 + 1.2 + 1.2 = 6.0 feet
