To find out how much ribbon was used for each mat and the cost of the ribbon for each mat, we can follow these steps:
1. Calculate how much ribbon was used on each mat:
- Total ribbon bought: 24 meters
- Number of mats: 30
- Divide the total ribbon by the number of mats: 24 meters ÷ 30 mats = 0.8 meters of ribbon per mat
2. Calculate the cost of the ribbon for each mat:
- Cost of the ribbon: $36
- Divide the total cost by the number of mats: $36 ÷ 30 mats = $1.20 per mat
Therefore, the amount of ribbon used on each mat is 0.8 meters, and the cost of the ribbon for each mat is $1.20.
