Question

lyla wants to cut 2 yards of ribbon into \\(\frac{1}{5}\\)-yard strips. she wants to know how many strips she will cut.
complete the statement to show how to find the number of strips lyla cuts.
? ÷ ? = number of strips
total number of yards
fraction of a yard

Explanation:

Step1: Identify dividend

The total length of ribbon is 2 yards, so this is the dividend.
$\text{Dividend} = 2$

Step2: Identify divisor

Each strip is $\frac{1}{5}$ yard, so this is the divisor.
$\text{Divisor} = \frac{1}{5}$

Step3: Calculate number of strips

Dividing total length by strip length gives the count.
$$2 \div \frac{1}{5} = 2 \times 5 = 10$$

Answer:

First box: total number of yards, Second box: fraction of a yard; Final number of strips: 10
