Question

Carol had 3/4 yard of ribbon. She wanted to use it to decorate two picture frames. If she uses half the ribbon on each frame, how many feet of ribbon will she use for one frame?

Answer 1

The answer is 3/8 of a yard for each frame.

3/4 yard divided by 2, since there are 2 frames to decorate: 3/4 / 2/1 = 3/4*1/2 = 3/8 of a yard for each frame.
