Evelyn needs 123 in. of white ribbon for the 82 in. of blue ribbon, so the white color of ribbon she will run out of the first.

It is a basic operation of arithmetic in which you divide a number into smaller parts.

Given:

Evelyn uses 6 in. of blue ribbon for every 9 in. of white ribbon,

So for 1 in. of blue ribbon, she needs 9 / 6 in. of white ribbon,

And for the 82 in of blue ribbon, she needs 9 / 6 × 82 in. of white ribbon

Hence, she needs 123 in. of white ribbon for the 82 in. of blue ribbon,

Therefore, The white color of ribbon she will run out of the first.
