Question

If it takes 8 inches of ribbon to make a bow how many bows can be made from 3 feet of ribbon?Will any be left over?if so how much

Answer 1

Note that 1 foot = 12 inches.

`Turn 3 feet into inches

3 feet = 36

8 can go into thirty-six 4 times.

8 * 4 = 32

36 - 32 = 4 (inches left of ribbon)

Yes, 4 inches of ribbon will be left over.

Best of Luck!
