Nina has 3 feet of ribbon that she wants to cut into 8 equal-sized pieces. What is true about the length of each piece of ribbon?

A) Each piece is 1/3 of 8 feet of ribbon.
B) Each piece is 1/8 of 3 feet of ribbon.
C) Each piece is 8/3 feet of ribbon.

Answer :

Answer:

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

Step-by-step 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

[tex]=\frac{\text{total length of the ribbon}}{\text{total pieces}}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{3}{8}[/tex]

= 1/8 of 3 feet

Hence, OPTION B is correct.
B)each piece has 1/8 of 3 feet ribbon
