After tying all the gifts, it was found that 2/3 of the ribbon had been used. The remaining ribbon was cut into 12 pieces of the same length. Calculate the length of each piece of ribbon that had been cut.

Answer :

Each piece of ribbon that had been cut has a length of approximately 3.7 m.

What is Algebra?

Algebra is the study of abstract symbols, while logic is the manipulation of all those ideas.

The total length of ribbon to tie 12 gifts is calculated as,

⇒ 12 gifts × 1.85 m/gift = 22.2 m

The length of the ribbon remaining is calculated as,

Total length = [22.2 / (1/3)] x 2/3

Total length = 66.6 x 2/3

Total length = 44.4

The length of each piece of ribbon that had been cut is calculated as,

Length of each piece = 44.4 m ÷ 12 = 3.7 m
