Erin has a rectangular piece of pine that is 9 inches long and 4 inches wide. For some unknown reason she wants to cover it with ribbon that is ΒΌ wide. How many inches of that ribbon will she need to cover the wood?

Respuesta :

Answer: Erin will need 16 inches of that ribbon to cover the wood.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem you need to divide the width of the pine by the width of the ribbon.

4 divided by 1/4 = 16

also you can do a reverse check by multiplying 1/4 (the width of the ribbon) by 16 Inches (the width of the ribbon she will need to cover the entire pine.

1/4 x 16 = 4.

The answer gives the width of the pine, 4 inches.
