shortened ribbon? (1 point)
The length of the shortened ribbon is 6 feet - 2 feet = <<6-2=4>>4 feet. Answer: \boxed{4}.
the answer is not just 1 number
Apologies for the confusion. The length of the shortened ribbon is indeed 4 feet.
To find the length of the shortened ribbon, we need to subtract the amount that was cut off from the original length of the ribbon.
Original length of the ribbon = 6 feet
Amount cut off from one end = 2 feet
To find the length of the shortened ribbon, we subtract the amount cut off from the original length:
Length of shortened ribbon = Original length - Amount cut off
Length of shortened ribbon = 6 feet - 2 feet
Length of shortened ribbon = 4 feet
Therefore, the length of the shortened ribbon is 4 feet.
To find the length of the shortened ribbon, you need to subtract the length that was cut off from the original length.
In this case, the original length of the ribbon is 6 feet, and it was shortened by cutting off 2 feet. So, to find the length of the shortened ribbon, you subtract the 2 feet cut off from the original 6 feet:
6 feet - 2 feet = 4 feet
Therefore, the length of the shortened ribbon is 4 feet.
