Respuesta :
The length of the green ribbon is 1.6m.
We are given that,
A yellow ribbon is 8 m long.
The yellow ribbon is 5 times as long as the green ribbon.
We have to find how long is the green ribbon.
From this, "A yellow ribbon is 8 m long"
We can write,
Length of yellow ribbon = 8m _________(A)
From this, "The yellow ribbon is 5 times as long as the green ribbon".
We can write,
Length of yellow ribbon = 5 x length of green ribbon ______________(B)
From (A) and (B) we get,
8m = 5 x length of green ribbon
Length of green ribbon = 8 / 5 = 1.6m.
We can also check,
Length of yellow ribbon = 5 x length of green ribbon
8m = 5 x 1.6m
8m = 8m
Thus, the length of the green ribbon is 1.6m.
