Solution

To find the average length of ribbon that Noel delivered per day, we need to follow these steps:

  1. Calculate the total length of ribbon delivered from Tuesday to Friday: Noel delivered 350 yards of ribbon per day for 4 days (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday), so the total length is 350 yards/day * 4 days = 1400 yards.

  2. Calculate the total length of ribbon delivered from Saturday to Monday: Noel delivered 700 yards of ribbon per day for 3 days (Saturday, Sunday, Monday), so the total length is 700 yards/day * 3 days = 2100 yards.

  3. Add the total lengths of ribbon delivered from Tuesday to Friday and from Saturday to Monday to find the total length of ribbon delivered in the week: 1400 yards + 2100 yards = 3500 yards.

  4. Divide the total length of ribbon delivered in the week by the number of days in the week to find the average length of ribbon delivered per day: 3500 yards / 7 days = 500 yards/day.

So, the average length of ribbon that Noel delivered per day was 500 yards.
