Question

Gloria needs 2/5 yard of ribbons to make each bow. Write and solve an equation to find how any bows she can make with 8 yards of ribbon

Answer 1

Answer:

Equation : $\frac{2}{5}r=8$

She can make 20 bows with 8 yards of ribbon

Step-by-step explanation:

Gloria needs 2/5 yard of ribbons to make each bow.

Length of 1 bow =$\frac{2}{5} yards$

Let r be the no. of bows made

So, Length of r bows = $\frac{2}{5}r$

We are given that  she can make r bows with 8 yards of ribbon

So, Equation : $\frac{2}{5}r=8$

$r=\frac{8 \times 5}{2}$

r=20

Hence She can make 20 bows with 8 yards of ribbon
