Question

Carter needs to wrap 7 presents. He lays the ribbon out flat and says , " If I make 6 equal cuts, I'll have just enough pieces I can use one piece for each package, and I won't have any pieces left over." Does he have enough pieces to wrap all the presents?

Answer 1

Yes because he has cut the ribbon 6 times meaning he will have 7 pieces of ribbon

Answer 2

The pieces of ribbon that Carter has is not enough to wrap the presents.

Is the pieces of ribbon enough?

If the ribbon is cut into 6 equal pieces, it means that he has 6 ribbons. The number of presents he has to wrap is 7. Examining the numbers, we know that 6 comes before 7. This means that 6 is smaller than 7. Using this logic, he does not have enough ribbons.
