Nicole used 3/8 of her ribbon to wrap the present. If she used 6 feet of ribbon for the present how much ribbon did Nicole have at first

Respuesta :

you would set up a proportion. 3/8 = 6/x... cross multiply ( 3*x = 3x and 6*8 = 48)  3x = 48... divide both sides by 3 (3x/3 = x and 48/3 = 16)

So, she originally had 16 feet of ribbon.
