1. A roll of ribbon contains 5 yards of ribbon, Janet cuts 1 yards of ribbon from the roll. How much ribbon is left on the roll? 4įyards 3ş yards 6 yards 4ş yards

Sagot :

Given that the total length of the ribbon on the roll is 5 yards.

Janet cuts 1 (1/3) yards of ribbon from the roll, then the remaining length of ribbon on the roll is calculated as,

[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Remaining Ribbon length=Total Length-Length cut out} \\ \text{Remaining Ribbon length=}5\text{ yards-1}\frac{1}{3}\text{ yards} \\ \text{Remaining Ribbon length=}(5-\frac{4}{3})\text{ yards} \\ \text{Remaining Ribbon length=(}\frac{15-4}{3})\text{ yards} \\ \text{Remaining Ribbon length=(}\frac{11}{3})\text{ yards} \\ \text{Remaining Ribbon length=3}\frac{2}{3}\text{ yards} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Thus, the length of the ribbon left on the roll is 3 (2/3) yards.

So the second option is the correct choice.
