Amanda has a piece of ribbon that is 1/4 had long. She wants to share the ribbon with 2 friends so that they can each wear a ribbon for breast cancer awareness month. If each of the 3 friends gets the same amount, how much ribbon will each person get?

Explanation:

Draw a rectangle. Then draw three vertical lines inside to split the rectangle into 4 equal pieces. Shade one of the pieces to represent 1/4.

Now draw 2 horizontal lines to split that 1/4 piece into three equal smaller pieces. You should end up with a 3 by 4 grid of small squares.  There are 3*4 = 12 small squares total.

Each person gets 1/12 of a unit of ribbon, when we started off with 1/4 of a unit of ribbon. Notice how 3*(1/12) = 3/12 = 1/4.

tip=18%of $32

tip=(18/100)*32

=0.18*32

=$5.76

Total payment=32+5.76=$37.76

The wood before starting =12 feet

Left wood=6 feet

Wood used till now=12-6=6 feet

Picture frame built till now= 6/(3/4)

=8 pieces

Therefore, till now 8 pieces have been made.
