Answer:
16 ribbons
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the length of the chain as 10[tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] and there is a ribbon tied to it every [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex], we can take the total length of the chain and divide by the measure of [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex]:
[tex]10\frac{2}{3}=\frac{32}{3}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{\frac{32}{3}}{\frac{2}{3}}=\frac{32}{3}*\frac{3}{2}=\frac{96}{6}=16[/tex]
When dividing with fractions, we use the rule of 'keep/change/flip' to keep the first fractions, change the operation to multiplication and flip the second fraction.
