Nicole used 3/8 of her ribbon to wrap a present if she used 6 feet of ribbon for the present how much ribbon did Nicole have at first

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Nicole used only a fraction of her ribbon to wrap the present

the length of ribbon she used is 6 feeet

so lets name the length of the ribbon she had originally as X

the fraction of X she used was - 3/8 of X

so we can write the following equation

(3)/(8) of X = 6

when of function is used we multiply

(3)/(8)*X = 6

3X = 6*8

3X = 48

X = 16

therefore length of the original ribbon piece Nicole had was 16 feet
Answer 2
Answer: The answer is 16 feet

3/8 of her ribbon is 6 feet

3/8 * 8/3 = all of the ribbon Nicole had

6 * (8)/(3) = (48)/(3) = 16

A student government organization is selling Christmas trees as a fundraiser. On Friday, they sold 5 noble fir trees and 3 douglas fir trees for a total of $420. On Saturday, 12 noble fir trees and 9 douglas fir trees were sold for a total of $1,080. What is the cost per tree for each type?how much is 1 douglas?
how much is 1 noble fir?

Answers

You have to do a system, lets say x are noble fir trees and y are douglas fir trees, 
5x+3y=420
12x+9y=1080

if you solve this you get, 
x=60 and 
y=40
SO Noble fir trees cost $60 and Douglas fir trees cost $40.
