Meg has 16 feet of ribbon that she wants to divide into of a foot pieces. How many of a foot pieces are there in 16 feet?

Question

i do not know how to do this please help

Answer 1

I suggest that you divide, in your head, 16 ft of ribbon into two equal halves.

Next, divide each of those into halves--my research says that this will produce four halves.

Try to keep track of the length of each piece as you go along.

You can repeat this process until you reach whatever stop point you have in mind.

 

Note that both of your sentences have grammatical errors, and thus your 'question' is rather imperfect.
