Question

Sara has 3 1/2 feet of ribbon.

She needs 2/3 foot to make one bow.
How many bows can she make?

Answer 1

5 bows

Explanation:

Total feets of ribbon = 3 1/2

Fraction required to make a bow = 2/3

Number of bows that can be made = (total ribbon / Fraction required to make a bow)

3 1/2 ÷ 2/3

7/2 ÷ 2/3

7/2 * 3/2

= 21 / 4

= 5.25
