Genevieve is cutting a 60-inch piece of ribbon into a ratio of 2: 3. since 2 inches are frayed at one end of the ribbon, she will need to start 2 inches in. this is indicated as 2 on the number line. where will her cut be located? round to the nearest tenth.

Genevieve is cutting a 60-inch piece of ribbon into a ratio of 2:3. Since 2 inches are frayed at one end of the ribbon, she will need to start 2 inches in.

There remains 60-2=58-inch piece of ribbon. Divide it into a ratio 2:3:

1. 2+3=5 the number of parts the ribbon is divided;

2. 58:5=11.6 in - the length of each part;

3. 11.6·2=23.2 in - the length of two parts;

4. 23.2+2=25.2 in - the point on the number line, where her cut will be.

25.2 in
