Respuesta :

B. 7/8

Since, 3 1/2 converted into decimal is 3.50. You divide it by 4 which will equal 0.875. Lastly 0.875 converted back into a fraction is 7/8.

Answer:

[tex]\frac{7}{8}[/tex] feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Total length of ribbon bought = [tex]3\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

                                                    = [tex]\frac{7}{2}[/tex]

Now 4 sisters want to share equally

So, Each sister will receive  =  [tex]\frac{\frac{7}{2}}{4}[/tex]

                                                    =  [tex]\frac{7}{2 \times 4}[/tex]

                                                    =  [tex]\frac{7}{8}[/tex]

So, Option B is true .

Hence Each sister will receive [tex]\frac{7}{8}[/tex] feet
