Sure, let's solve this step by step.
1. Understand the question:
- You have a piece of ribbon that is 50 centimeters long.
- You need to cut this ribbon into pieces, each 10 centimeters long.
- You need to determine how many full pieces of 10 centimeters you can cut from the ribbon and how much ribbon will be left over.
2. Calculate the number of full 10 cm pieces:
- To find out how many full pieces of 10 centimeters you can cut, you divide the total length of the ribbon by the length of each piece.
- Total length of ribbon: 50 cm
- Length of each piece: 10 cm
- Number of full pieces = 50 cm ÷ 10 cm
[tex]\[
\text{Number of full pieces} = 5
\][/tex]
3. Calculate the leftover ribbon:
- After cutting the full 10 cm pieces, you need to determine if there is any ribbon left over.
- You can find this by looking at the remainder when 50 cm is divided by 10 cm.
- Leftover ribbon = 50 cm % 10 cm
[tex]\[
\text{Leftover ribbon} = 0 \text{ cm}
\][/tex]
4. State the final answer:
- You can cut 5 full lengths of 10 centimeters each from the 50-centimeter ribbon.
- There will be no ribbon left over.
So, you can cut 5 pieces of 10 cm each from the 50 cm ribbon, and 0 cm will be left over.
