Shea. she has 14 feet of ribbon. she needs to cut pieces that are 3/5 feet long. how many full pieces can shea cut. how much will she have leftover

Answers:

Shea can cut 13 full pieces

Shea will have 1/5 feet leftover

Given,

Shea has 14 feet of ribbon

She needs to cut pieces that have a length of 3/5 feet

To get how many full pieces she can get, and the leftover

We divide 14 by 3/5

14 : 3/5 = 14 x 5/3

= 70/3

= 13 1/3

This means

Shea will have 13 full pieces of 3/5 feet length

And the leftover will be 1/3 of 3/5 feet length

To find the exact length of the leftover,

1/3 of 3/5 = 1/3 x 3/5

= 3/15

= 1/5 feet
