Answer:
8 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
sum the parts of the ratio, 5 + 6 = 11 parts
Divide the length of ribbon by 11 to find the value of one part of the ratio
88 cm ÷ 11 = 8 cm ← value of 1 part of the ratio , then
5 parts = 5 × 8 cm = 40 cm
6 parts = 6 × 8 cm = 48 cm
Then difference between lengths is 48 cm - 40 cm = 8 cm
longer piece is 8 cm longer than shortest piece.
