Nicole used 3/8 of her ribbon to wrap a present. if she used 6 ft of ribbon, how much ribbon do nicole have first?

Lemme solve this

3/8 of her total ribbon was used. 3/8= 6 feet

6 divided by 3 equals 2.

2= 1/8
Let us find how much she had first

2 x 8 = 16

She had 8/8 of the ribbon, or 16 feet, when she first had it

You have 2 sides that are 2 cms and you have 6 sides that are 1/2 cm and you have 4 sides that are 1 cm. the smallest sides are 1/2 the medium sized sides are 1 and the smallest are 1/2. so to find the perimeter you have to add them all up together so your answer will be 11 cm's
