Question

Kayleen is using ribbon to wrap gifts. She cut her ribbon into four 16-inch pieces. After she cut the ribbon, there was a piece left over that was 5 inches long. How long was the ribbon before Kayleen cut it?

Answer 1

Answer: 69

Step-by-step explanation: she cut the ribbon into 4 16-inch pieces. That means multiply 4x16 to get the piece she cut off. That gives us 64. Add 5 inches to 64 to get 69.
