Answer:

We need 6 meters of ribbon to make 16 bows

Explanation:

We can use proportions to solve this problem. Take the meters of ribbon over the number of bows

9 meters x meters

----------- = -------------

24 bows 16 bows


Using cross products

9*16 = 24x

Divide each side by 24

9*16/24 = 24x/24

6 =x

We need 6 meters of ribbon to make 16 bows
