A seamstress needs to cut 15-inch pieces of ribbon from a roll of ribbon that is 9 feet in length. What is the greatest numberof 15-inch pieces the seamstress can cut from 5
of these rolls of ribbon?

36

Step-by-step explanation:

One roll length is = 9 feet

1 foot = 12 inches

9 feet = 12 *9 = 108 inches

There are 5 rolls

Total length of 5 rolls = 108 * 5 = 540

540 divided by 15

540/15 = 36

The greatest number of 15-inch pieces the seamstress can cut from 5 of these rolls of ribbon is 36.

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume length of parallelogram is 'l'

width of parallelogram is 'w'

the perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet

so, we get

we are given

length of parallelogram is 6 feet

so,

l=6

we can plug it

now, we can solve for w

subtract both sides by 12

divide both sides by 2

and we get

so,

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet
