Question

Sara had 3/8 yd of blue ribbon and 3/4 yd of red ribbon to use to make 3 pillows. She used the same amount of ribbon on each of the 3 pillows. How many yards of ribbon did Sara use on 1 pillow?

Answer 1

She used 3/8 of a yard on each pillow.

This is because 3/8 + 3/4 = 9/8. Divided by three to account for the three pillows equals 3/8. I hope this helps!
