Answer: 34.29cm
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, we are informed that Billy has 2.4 m of ribbon for crafts and that he wants to share it evenly with 12 friends.
The number of centimeters of ribbon that each of the 7 friends would get will be gotten by dividing 2.4m by 12. We can solve this by first converting 2.4meters to centimeters. This will be:
= 2.4meters = 2.4 × 100cm = 240 centimeters.
We then divide 240cm by 7. This will be:
= 240cm/7
= 34.29cm
Answer:
140 cm for 7 friends and 20 cm or 12 friends
Step-by-step explanation:
We first have to change the 2.4 m to centimeters.
2.4 m x 100 = 240
then we do 240 ÷ 12 because they are 12 people they need to share it evenly with 12 people. to make it easier we do.. For getting cm of 7 people
(24x10) ÷ 12 = 20 x 7 = 140
(24÷12) x 10 =
2 x 10
20 cm per friend
140 cm for 7 friends
It was 20 because there are 20 cm for 12 friends
