Question

Nina has 3 feet ribbon that she wants to cut into 8 equal sized pieces. What is true about the length of each ribbon? A) each piece has 1/3 of 8 feet ribbon B) each piece has 1/8 of 3 feet ribbon C) each piece has 8/3 feet of ribbon

Answer 1

B)each piece has 1/8 of 3 feet ribbon

Answer 2

B) each piece has 1/8 of 3 feet ribbon

Explanation:

Given,

The total length of the ribbon = 3 feet,

Total number of pieces of the ribbon = 8,

If each piece has the same length,

So, the length of each piece

`=\frac{\text{total length of the ribbon}}{\text{total pieces}}`

`=(3)/(8)`

= 1/8 of 3 feet

Hence, OPTION B is correct.
