Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

yes because when you split 3 foot piece of ribbon into eighths you get 24 eighths. so there will be enough for 22 students]

Answer 2

She will have enough ribbon for her class of 22 students.

Further explanation

Order of Operations in Mathematics follow this following rule :

1. Parentheses
2. Exponents
3. Multiplication and Division
4. Addition and Subtraction

This rule is known as the PEMDAS method.

In working on a mathematical problem, we first calculate operation that is in parentheses, follow by exponentiation, then multiplication or division, and finally addition or subtraction.

Let us tackle the problem !

Given:

Ms. Leverenz has a 3 foot piece of ribbon ↓

Length of Ribbon = 3 feet

She gives each student an eighth of a foot of ribbon ↓

Length of Cutting = ¹/₈ foot

$\texttt{Number of Cutting} = \texttt{Length of Ribbon} ~\div ~ \texttt{Length of Cutting}$

$\texttt{Number of Cutting} = 3 \div \frac{1}{8}$

$\texttt{Number of Cutting} = 3 \times 8$

$\texttt{Number of Cutting} = \boxed{24}$

Conclusion:

Number of Cutting > Number of Students i.e. 24 > 22

She will have enough ribbon for her class of 22 students.
