Question

Betty had 1/3 yard of ribbon. She used 1/2 of it. How many yards of ribbon did she use?

a. 6 yd

b. 1/6 yd

c. 2/3 yd

d 3/2 yd

Answer 1

b. 1/6 yd

Explanation:

When Betty used 1/2 OF the 1/3 yards she has she has to multiple those. It's easier to put it in a sentence in my opinion because then you can see the "of" in the sentence which means to multiply. Hope this helps!
