Answer: So, Malik would need 2/3 of a year of ribbon to make 2 bows. This is already in its simplest form.

Explanation:

To make one bow, Malik needs a piece of ribbon that is 1/3 of a year long. To find out how many years of ribbon are needed to make 2 bows, you can simply multiply the ribbon length needed for one bow by 2:

(1/3 year/bow) * 2 bows = (1/3 year/bow) * 2 = (2/3) years
