Teresa has two 6 -foot pieces of ribbon. One piece she cuts into \( \frac{1}{4} \) foot pieces. The other piece she cuts into \( \frac{1}{2} \) foot pieces. 1. How many \( \frac{1}{4} \) foot pieces can she cut from one piece of ribbon? Explain.

To find out how many \( \frac{1}{4} \) foot pieces Teresa can cut from one piece of ribbon, we need to divide the total length of the ribbon by the length of each piece she cuts. Given: - Total length of the ribbon = 6 feet - Length of each piece cut = \( \frac{1}{4} \) foot To find the number of \( \frac{1}{4} \) foot pieces she can cut from one piece of ribbon, we divide the total length of the ribbon by the length of each piece cut: \[ \text{Number of } \frac{1}{4} \text{ foot pieces} = \frac{6 \text{ feet}}{\frac{1}{4} \text{ foot}} \] Let's calculate this. Calculate the value by following steps: - step0: Calculate: \(\frac{6}{\frac{1}{4}}\) - step1: Multiply by the reciprocal: \(6\times 4\) - step2: Multiply the numbers: \(24\) Teresa can cut 24 \( \frac{1}{4} \) foot pieces from one piece of ribbon.
