Mrs Rahlee bought 300 yards of ribbon to make flowers. She used 1.22 yards to make one large flower. She made 200 such large flowers she used all of the remaining ribbon to make 100 small flowers. What was the length of ribbon Mrs. Rahlee used to make one small flower?

Respuesta :

200x1.22 = 244 yards
300-244 = 56 yards left.
56/100 = 14/25ths
=.56
so 1.22 per large flower
200 large flowers
1.22 times 200=244 yards used
subtract
300-244=56

56=100 smal flowers
divide both sides by 100
0.56=1 small flower
the answer is 0.56 yards=1 flower
