Respuesta :

Answer:

8.4 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the problem, computation of the given data are as follows:

Ribbon roll = 12 meter

Number of pieces cut = 9

Length of each piece = 0.4 meter

So, total length cut = 0.4 × 9 = 3.6 meters

So, we can calculate the ribbon available for making wreaths by using following formula:

Ribbon available after cut = Ribbon total length - Total length cut

By putting the value,

Ribbon available for wreaths = 12 meters - 3.6 meters

= 8.4 meters
