The
green ribbon is said to have 9 inches long

=> the red ribbon is 1/10 the length of the green ribbon

And the purple ribbon is 10 times the length of the red ribbon

Let G = green ribbon

Let R = red ribbon

and Let P = purple ribbon


G = 9 inches

R = 1/10 x 9 or equals to 9 x .10 = .9 inches

P = .9 x 10 = 9 inches

thus, the length of the purple ribbon is 10 inches.
