Tara is making spirit ribbons. she has 63 inches of blue ribbon on one spool and 56 inches of orange ribbon on another. if tara wants all the ribbons to be the same length and she does not want any ribbon leftover, what is the longest length of ribbon that can be cut from each spool

hey there!

if she's saving for six months, let's divide the total number we need for the trip by six, dividing it into the amount that needs to be saved for each month.

she needs to save at least this amount each month, so we should use this symbol: ≥

let x be the amount she saves each month.

your final answer is x ≥

hope this !
