We will investigate the equal distribution of ribbon amoung her friends.
Isis has a ribbon for crafts for a certain length ( L ):
[tex]L\text{ = 4.8 m}[/tex]Isis has ( n ) number of friends amoung which she wants to equally distribute the length ( L ) of her ribbon:
[tex]n\text{ = 12}[/tex]Under the assumption of equal distribution we can divide the total length of ribbon ( L ) amoung Isis ( n ) of friends to determine what length ( l ) each friend got:
[tex]\begin{gathered} l\text{ = }\frac{L}{n} \\ \\ l\text{ = }\frac{4.8}{12} \\ \\ l\text{ = 0.4 m or 40 cm} \end{gathered}[/tex]So each friend of Isis got a piece of 40 cm length of the ribbon. So the length of the ribbon accumulated for 5 friends would involves the direct multiplication of 5 number of friends and length of each piece ( l ):
[tex]\begin{gathered} 5\text{ friends got = 5 }\cdot\text{ l} \\ 5\text{ friends got = 5 }\cdot\text{ 40} \\ 5\text{ friends got = }200\text{ cm} \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, the answer to the question is:
[tex]200\text{ cm}[/tex]
