Explanation of Solution
Given information: You have
Calculation: If the sum of the length of the two pieces of ribbon which have to cut from the original ribbon, is equal or less than the length of original ribbon, only in this condition we can cut the ribbon into two pieces as of the requirement.
If the sum of the two pieces of ribbon which have to cut from the original ribbon is greater than the length of original ribbon, in this situation the ribbon can’t be cut into two pieces as of the requirement.
Here is description,
Step1. The length of the original ribbon in the form of improper fraction is,
The length of the first piece of ribbon in the form of improper fraction is,
Length of the second piece of ribbon in the form of improper fraction is,
Step2. Sum of the length of the two pieces of ribbon is,
Step3. It is found that,
