The length of each piece of ribbon is 0.53 feet
Solution:
Given that,
Miss Alvarez has a piece of ribbon that is 2.65 feet long she cuts the ribbon into 5 equal pieces
To find: Length of each piece of ribbon
From given information,
Total length of ribbon = 2.65 feet
Number of equal pieces = 5
To find the length of each piece of ribbon, divide the total length of ribbon by number of pieces
Therefore,
[tex]\text{Length of each piece of ribbon } = \frac{\text{Total length of ribbon}}{\text{Number of equal pieces}}[/tex]
Substituting the values in formula, we get
[tex]\text{Length of each piece of ribbon } = \frac{2.65}{5} = 0.53[/tex]
Thus length of each piece of ribbon is 0.53 feet
