Question

Daniella made gift bows from 8 yards of ribbon. The bows are all the same size. If she made 16 bows, how much ribbon did she use for each one? Give the answer as a fraction or mixed number

Answer 1

Two

Explanation:

you have 8 yards of ribbon and 16 bows made from that you need to divide 8 from 16 and that gets you 2

Answer 2

She used half a yard worth of ribbon per each bow, you can tell this as 16 divided by 8 is 2. Therefore for every 2 ribbons she was using a yard of ribbon. Split that and you get half a yard
