The length of each piece of ribbon she cut is 1.25 feet
Solution:
Given that, jada cut 4 pieces of ribbon that were equal in length
She used a total of 5 feet of ribbon
To find: Length of each piece of ribbon she cut
From given,
Total length of ribbon = 5 feet
Number of pieces cut = 4
Length of each piece of ribbon she cut is found by dividing total length of ribbon by number of pieces cut
[tex]\text{Length of each piece} = \frac{\text{Total length of ribbon}}{\text{Number of pieces}}[/tex]
Substituting the values we get,
[tex]\text{Length of each piece} = \frac{5}{4} = 1.25[/tex]
Thus length of each piece of ribbon she cut is 1.25 feet
