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? PLEASE HELP ME

Answer 1

each ribbon will be 0.138888889 yards because 5/6 of a yard is 0.833333333 then you divide that by how many ribbons you have in this case 6 so you would get your answer :)

Answer 2

Length of ribbon used for each bow
`=(5)/(36)`
