β 12y agoYou would most likely measure a ribbon in inches for a small project. If you are talking about longer pieces, such as the amount on a roll, you could measure in feet or yards.

β 11y agoI think you should use inches. I learned that in math class and this is an easy question.

You can make 6 ribbons that are 8 inches long from a 4-foot piece. This is calculated by dividing the total length (48 inches) by the length of each ribbon (8 inches).
To find out how many 3.5 inch pieces can be cut from a 63-inch ribbon, divide the total length of the ribbon (63 inches) by the length of each piece (3.5 inches). The calculation is 63 Γ· 3.5 = 18 pieces. Therefore, 18 pieces of 3.5 inches can be cut from a 63-inch ribbon.
A scale or balance is typically used to measure weight. These devices provide a numerical measurement of an object's mass in units such as grams or kilograms.
You can measure the length or width of a piece of chocolate in millimeters using a ruler or a caliper. Place one end of the ruler at the start of the chocolate and read the measurement where the chocolate ends to determine its size in millimeters.
A graduated cylinder would be the most appropriate piece of equipment to accurately measure 85 mL of water. It has precise markings that allow for accurate measurement of liquid volumes.
-- Measure the length of the piece. -- Using a pencil, write the measurement on paper. -- Using skills taught in elementary school, divide the measurement by 2 . (Alternatively, multiply the measurement by 0.5 .) -- Using the result of your calculation, measure that length from either end of the piece.
Do what I do with my snakes - use a piece of string to get the approximate length from nose to tail - then lay the string on a ruler to get the measurement.
If 104 yards of ribbon is cut into 14 equal length pieces, each piece will have length of 7.43 yards, to the justified number of significant digits.

Circumference is the measurement around the trunk of the tree. It is usually measured at breast height because trees flare out at the bottom at different rates based on soil conditions. The best way to measure this is with a ribbon or piece of rope. Diameter can be measured by dividing this number by pi or 3.1415
Wrap the strip of paper around the plate or can and mark it where it completes a full circle around the object. Then lay the strip on a flat surface and measure the marked length using the ruler. That length is the perimeter (circumference) of the round object.
match it with a piece of string then measure the string
4 ÷ 2 = 2 so each piece measures two feet in length.
It is neither. Length is used to measure inanimate objects, such as the length of a piece of string or fabric.
The difference between a measurement and an estimation is that a measurement is an exact data while an estimation is a guess as to what something may measure. For example, you can use a ruler to get the exact measurements of a piece of paper. However, if you don't have a ruler, you can make an educated guess as to what the paper's length and width measurements may be.
Let x be the length measure of the shortest piece of wood, and 3x the length measure of the other piece of wood. So we have: x + 3x = 8 4x = 8 divide by 4 to both sides; x = 2 The length measure of the shortest piece of wood is 2.
I would use centimetres and millimetres
