Jamilla has a piece of ribbon that is 48.5 centimeters long. She cuts it into two pieces so that one is four times as long as the other. What are the lengths of the pieces?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

48.5/5=9.1 so one piece is 9.1 the other is 38.8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

48.5cm=5x This will give you the length of the pieces if she cut them into 5. One piece would be x and the other would be 4x.
