Question

Jalisa is using 5/6 yard of ribbon to make bows for her party favors. Jalisa needs to make 6 bows. What is the length of the ribbon used for each bow?

Answer 1

5/36 yard. 5/6 and multiply by the reciprocal of 6, 1/6.

Answer 2

Answer: The required length of the ribbon used for each bow is 0.12 yard.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that Jalisa is using
`(5)/(6)` yard of ribbon to make bows for her party favors and Jalisa needs to make 6 bows.

We are to find the length of the ribbon used for each bow.

We will be using the UNITARY method to solve the problem.

Length of the ribbon used to make 6 bows is

`(5)/(6)~\textup{yard}.`

So, the length of the ribbon used to make one row is given by

`((5)/(6))/(6)=(5)/(6)*(1)/(6)=(5)/(36)=0.12.`

Thus, the required length of the ribbon used for each bow is 0.12 yard.
