Bella bought 3.2 meters of ribbon to decorate her pencil case. each meter cost $0.46. how much did the ribbon cost?

Answer 1

we know that

Each meter of ribbon cost $\ 0.46$  

so

by proportion

Find the cost of $3.2$ meters of ribbon

$\frac{0.46}{1} \frac{\ }{meter} =\frac{x}{3.2} \frac{\ }{meter} \\ \\x=3.2*0.46 \\ \\x=\ 1.472$

therefore

the answer is

The ribbon cost $\ 1.472$

Answer 2

Answer:  The cost of the ribbon is $1.472.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that Bella bought 3.2 meters of ribbon to decorate her pencil case and each meter cost $0.46.

We are to find the cost of the ribbon.

We have

the cost of 1 meter of ribbon = $0.46.

So, the cost of 3.2 meters of the ribbon will be

$\ (3.2\times 0.46)=\ 1.472.$

Thus, the total cost of the ribbon is $1.472.
