Answer 2

(1)6 Pieces

(2)2 Pieces

Explanation:

Teresa has two 6-foot pieces of ribbon.

• She cuts one piece into 1-foot pieces.
• She cuts the other piece into 3-foot pieces.

Part 1

We are to determine how many 1-foot pieces she can cut from one piece of ribbon.

To determine the number of pieces, we divide the total length of the ribbon by the length of one of the piece.

Total Length = 6 foot

Length of one piece of cut ribbon =1 foot

`\frac{\text{Total Length}}{\text{Length of one Piece}} =\frac{6 \text{ foot}}{1 \text{ foot}} \\\\=6$ Pieces`

Therefore, she can cut 6 pieces of 1-foot ribbon.

Part 2

We use the same method as in part 1.

Total Length = 6 foot

Length of one piece of cut ribbon =3 foot

`\frac{\text{Total Length}}{\text{Length of one Piece}} =\frac{6 \text{ foot}}{3 \text{ foot}} \\\\=2$ Pieces`

Therefore, she can cut 2 pieces of 3-foot ribbon.
