Question

Louis has 7 1/2 ft of red ribbon. How many red bows can he make using 3/4 ft pieces of ribbon for each bow?

Answer 1

So I got 10 bows he can make

7 1/2 = 15/2 = 7.5
3/4 = .75

1) 7.50-.75=6.75
2) 6.75-.75=6.00
3) 6.00-.75=5.25
4) 5.25-.75=4.50
5) 4.50-.75=3.75
6) 3.75-.75=3.00
7) 3.00-.75=2.25
8) 2.25-.75=1.50
9) 1.50-.75=.75
10) .75-.75=0

10 times total
