I’m unsure of the correct answer, though I solved a similar problem; feel free to report me if that doesn’t assist you.
Detailed explanation:
You can tackle this issue in two ways, both yielding the same result.
To visualize it better, it may help to convert to a more manageable unit.
Given your ribbon measures 5 feet long, divided into 6 parts, you know each won't exceed 1 foot in length.
One method involves converting your 5-foot ribbon into inches for easier calculations.
1 foot equals 12 inches
To determine the ribbon's length in inches, multiply its feet by 12.
Once acquired, you can divide by 6 to ascertain each segment's inch length.
Be cautious! The outcome must be converted back to feet; divide by 12 to get the final answer in feet, rounding to the nearest tenth.
Alternately, you might simply divide the 5 feet by 6 and round to the nearest tenth. This may be less clear but will yield the same outcome as converting to inches and back to feet.
Best of luck! I hope this proves useful!
