Shelly wants to divide 27 cm long ribbon into pieces of $fraction numerator 9 over denominator 5 end fraction$ cm long.
Find the number of $fraction numerator 9 over denominator 5 end fraction$ cm long pieces that can be cut from 27 cm long ribbon.

9
12
15
18

hint Hint:

To find the number of pieces of ribbon she get ,we need to divide the total length of ribbon by length of each piece of ribbon.

The correct answer is: 15

Length of ribbon $equals 27$ cm
Length of each piece she wanted to cut = $fraction numerator 9 over denominator 5 end fraction$ cm
Number of pieces $equals 27 divided by fraction numerator 9 over denominator 5 end fraction$
we can multiply the reciprocal of the denominator with the numerator to find the value of the problem.
$equals 27 cross times fraction numerator 5 over denominator 9 end fraction open parentheses text reciprocal of end text fraction numerator 9 over denominator 5 end fraction text is end text fraction numerator 5 over denominator 9 end fraction close parentheses$
