Question

Kelly has a ribbon that is 60 inches long she cuts 40% of the ribbon for an art project while working on the project she decides she only needs 75% of the piece she cut off how many inches of ribbon does Kelly end up using for her project

Answer 1

Hey there,
100 % = 60
1% = 60 / 100
      = 0.6 inch
40 % = 0.6 x 40 
          = 24 inches
Ribbon used = 75 % x 24
                     = 18 inches
                     
Hope this helps :))
