Final answer:

AS per the values 8 ribbons have sparkles

Step-by-step explanation:

Amy has a total of 25 ribbons. She bought 4 ribbons and made the rest herself. The number of ribbons she made herself can be calculated by subtracting the number of ribbons she bought from the total number of ribbons:

Total ribbons - Ribbons bought = Ribbons made

25 - 4 = 21 ribbons

Now we can determine how many of these ribbons have sparkles. If 1/3 of the ribbons have sparkles, we can find this by multiplying the total number of ribbons by 1/3:

Total ribbons x (1/3) = Ribbons with sparkles

25 x (1/3) = 8.33 ribbons

Since we can't have a fraction of a ribbon, we round this number down to the nearest whole number.

Therefore, 8 ribbons have sparkles.

So there are 25 total counting the 4 she bought right? Or is it asking out of the 4 what ones have sparkles?
