Bella can cut 24 pieces of ribbon from this long strip
Solution:
Given that Bella has 85 feet of ribbons in total
She needs identical strips of ribbon measuring 3.5 feet each
To find: Number of peices of ribbon can she cut from long strip
Number of peices of ribbon can she cut from long strip can be calculated by dividing the total feet of ribbon she has by length of identical strips she needs
Mathematically written as:
[tex]\text { Number of Strip that can be cut }=\frac{\text { Total length of ribbon }}{\text { Length of each piece }}[/tex]
[tex]\begin{array}{l}{\text { Number of Strip that can be cut }=\frac{85}{3.5}} \\\\ {\text { Number of Strip that can be cut }=24.28 \approx 24}\end{array}[/tex]
Hence , the number of strip can be 24 each of size 3.5 feet
