The ribbon was 3 1/4 inches wide and had an area of 19 1/2 square inches. what is the length of the ribbon?will give brainliest to the right answer

Hello!

The formula for finding area is l × w

If the area is 19 ½ inches and it was 3 ¼ inches wide, then the length will be 19 ½ ÷ 3 ¼ (Area ÷ Width)



Change both to improper fraction







Keep 39/2
Change ÷ to ×
Flip 13/4 = 4/13

38+105= 143, 39+104=143, and you will find then adding the numbers on opposite sides, moving inwards yields the answer 138 every time. because of this, you’re going to multiply 138 times the number of pairs, which is 34. therefore, 34*138= 4692(i’m sorry if it’s the wrong numbers, but it’s the right concept)
