we know that
Each meter of ribbon cost [tex]\$0.46[/tex]
so
by proportion
Find the cost of [tex]3.2[/tex] meters of ribbon
[tex]\frac{0.46}{1} \frac{\$}{meter} =\frac{x}{3.2} \frac{\$}{meter} \\ \\x=3.2*0.46 \\ \\x=\$1.472[/tex]
therefore
the answer is
The ribbon cost [tex]\$1.472[/tex]
Answer: The cost of the ribbon is $1.472.
Step-by-step explanation: Given that Bella bought 3.2 meters of ribbon to decorate her pencil case and each meter cost $0.46.
We are to find the cost of the ribbon.
We have
the cost of 1 meter of ribbon = $0.46.
So, the cost of 3.2 meters of the ribbon will be
[tex]\$(3.2\times 0.46)=\$1.472.[/tex]
Thus, the total cost of the ribbon is $1.472.
