Carlita is creating an art project. She needs 12 pieces of ribbon. Each ribbon needs to be 4/5 meter long. How many meters of ribbon does Carlita need altogether?

Respuesta :

We need to multiply 12 (the number of pieces) by 4/5 (the length of each piece) as follows:

[tex]12\cdot\frac{4}{5}=\frac{12\cdot4}{5}=\frac{48}{5}=9\frac{3}{5}[/tex]

Carlita needs 9 3/5 meters of ribbon
