Assume the length of the ribbon was X
after tieing the parcel , the reminder is X - 3/8 = 5/8 X
Rebecca used 1/5 of the reminder, so the remainder of the remainder is 4/5 of the remainder = (4/5) * (5/8X) = 24 cm
                  20/40X = 24
So X = 48 cm

In a statewide soccer competition, 36 games were played. Each team participating in the competition played once with every other
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

9 teams

Step-by-step explanation:

If the total games played was 36 and no team played each other twice, we need to ensure there isn't any double counting.

36 = (n-1) + (n-2) + (n-3) ... + (n-(n-1))

using this knowledge, we can then count up:

1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8 = 36

If our highest number is 8, then we know there must be 9 teams, because no team can play themselves.
