Skye had 12 1/4 meters of ribbon. she used 2/3 of it to wrap a present and 1/2 of the remainder on a craft project. how many meters of ribbon did she have left?

She has 2 1/24 meters of ribbon

Step-by-step explanation:

Skye has 12 1/4 meters of ribbon, and she uses 2/3 of that.

To know how much she uses we have to multiply the total by the fraction she uses:

12 1/4 * 2/3,

12 1/4 is the same as 49/4, so we can solve by multiplying the nominators and denominators:

49/4 * 2/3 = 49/6;

So she used 49/4 meters of ribbon or 8.167 m.

Now we are going to see how much ribbon is left by subtracting from the total what she used:

12 1/4 - 49/4 = 49/12 meters that she has left.

And out of those she uses 1/2, so we are going to multiply what she has left by 1/2:

49/12 * 1/2 = 49/24 = 2 1/24 = 2.04167 meters that she used of the remaining.

And because she used half she still has the other half of the remaining:

2 1/24 or 2.94167 meters.

step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 90 5x – 10y = 90 90 – 10y = 5x 90 + 10y = 5x

step-by-step explanation:

last month maria hiked the 5-mile mountain trail a number of times and she hiked the 10-mile canal trail several times. let x represent the number of times she hiked the 5-mile trail, and let y represent the number of times she hiked the 10-mile trail. if she hiked a total of 90 miles, which equation can be used to find the number of times maria hiked each trail? x + y = 90 5x – 10y = 90 90 – 10y = 5x 90 + 10y = 5x
