Faye has 5 pieces of ribbon, each 1 yard long. she cuts each ribbon into sixths.
a. how many sixths will she have after cutting all the ribbons?
b. how long will each of the sixths be in inches?

a ) total number of sixth in 5 ribbon will be 6\times 5 = 30

b) length of each sixth will be = 5.97 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

given data:

Number of pieces of ribbon is 5

each piece length 1 yard

total number of cut in one piece of ribbon = 6

a) one piece of ribbon consist of 6 sxiths

therefore total number of sixth in 5 ribbon will be 6\times 5 = 30

b) each ribbon length is 1 yard

so, whole ribbon is divided into 1\6 yard length which is length of individual division

we know that one yard is 36 inches

therefore, in 1/6 yard = 5.97 inches

step-by-step explanation:

answer:   x = 3 + √11     and     x = 3 - √11

step-by-step explanation:

x² - 6x + 9 = 11

(x - 3)² = 11

x - 3 = ±√11

    x = 3 ± √11

x = 3 + √11     and     x = 3 - √11
