Van Klein · Answer 1

She will use 8 centimeters of ribbon on each small gift.

72-24=48, 48 divided by 6 = 8

Kathleen Weber · Answer 2

8 centimeters a gift because when you subtract 72-24 you get 48. Then all you have to do is divide 48 by 6 because you had 6 smaller gifts then you have your answer.
