a ribbon is 7/9 of a yard long. it will be divided equally among 3 people. what is the length of ribbon that each person will get?

Answer 1

To find the length of ribbon that each person will get, divide the total length of the ribbon (7/9 of a yard) by the number of people (3):

(7/9) ÷ 3
= 7/9 * 1/3
= 7/27

Therefore, each person will get a length of ribbon of 7/27 yards.
