Question

Hank bought 5 meters of ribbon for $4. Use the drop-down menus to complete the sentence. The ribbon costs per .

Answer 1

To determine the cost of each meter of the ribbon, we divide the cost for 5 meters of ribbon by 5. That is,

`x = \$4 / 5`

where x is the cost of each meter. Simplifying will give us an answer of $0.8/m. Converting this to per mm.

`($0.8/m) * (1 m/ 1000 mm)`

`= \$0.0008/mm`

Answer 2

the ribbon costs $0.80 per meter.

Explanation:

To calculate the cost per meter of ribbon, we can divide the total cost of the ribbon by the length of the ribbon:

Cost per meter = Total cost of ribbon / Length of ribbon

In this case, the total cost of the ribbon is $4, and the length of the ribbon is 5 meters:

Cost per meter = $4 / 5 meters = $0.80/meter
