To find out how many pieces of ribbon that are each 4.5 meters long can fit into a 120-meter pool, you can divide the total length of the pool by the length of each piece of ribbon.
Calculate it as follows:
\[
\text{Number of ribbons} = \frac{\text{total length of the pool}}{\text{length of each ribbon}} = \frac{120 \text{ meters}}{4.5 \text{ meters}}
\]
Now, performing the division:
\[
\frac{120}{4.5} = 26.67
\]
Since you cannot have a fraction of a ribbon, you can only fit 26 full pieces of 4.5-meter ribbon in a 120-meter pool.
