Answer:

7/5 yards or 1 2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Vanessa had 2 rolls of ribbon . Each of the roll has 5 3/5 yards of ribbon . 5 3/5 can be written as an improper fraction as 28/5 yards.

if she cuts the ribbon into 8 equal sizes that means if you divide the size in yards by 8 you will get the sizes in yards .

To get the length of each equal strip

since each role = 28/5

The 2 roll = 28/5 + 28/5 = 56/5

56/5 ÷ 8

56/5 × 1/8

56/40

14/10

7/5 yards or 1 2/5
