Answer:
7/5 yards or 1 2/5
Step-by-step explanation:
Vanessa had 2 rolls of ribbon . Each of the roll has 5 3/5 yards of ribbon . 5 3/5 can be written as an improper fraction as 28/5 yards.
if she cuts the ribbon into 8 equal sizes that means if you divide the size in yards by 8 you will get the sizes in yards .
To get the length of each equal strip
since each role = 28/5
The 2 roll = 28/5 + 28/5 = 56/5
56/5 ÷ 8
56/5 × 1/8
56/40
14/10
7/5 yards or 1 2/5
