Answer:
14 bows
Explanation:
Isabella has 7 yards of ribbon to make bows. Each bow is made from a peace of ribbon that is 1/2 yard long. How many bows can Isabella make?
The above question is calculated as:
1/2 yard of ribbon = 1 bow
7 yards of ribbon = x bows
We cross multiply
1/2 yard of ribbon × x bows = 7 yards of ribbon × 1 box
x bows = 7 yards of ribbon × 1 box/1/2 yard of ribbon
x bows = (7 ÷ 1/2 ) bows
x bows = 7 × 2 bows
= 14 bows
Therefore, Isabella can make 14 bows
