Peggy is cutting a 20 foot roll of ribbon into 2 inch strips for her mother. If Peggy has already cut 42 pieces, how many more pieces are left to cut?

Respuesta :

1 foot = 12 inches
20 feet = 20 x 12 =240 in.
42 x 2= 84 in.
240 - 84 = 156 in. already cut
240 - 156 = 84 in
84/2 = 41 pieces are left to be cut

Answer:

42 actually 84/2=42 not 41
