Question

Nora has a piece of ribbon that is 3/4 yard long. She will use 1/2 of it to make a bow. What length of the ribbon will she use for the bow?

Answer 1

Well first you have to figure out how many feet are in a yard. Answer is 3 then minus 3/4 or 75% which will give you 2.25 feet. Then do
1 / 2 of (2.25 feet) = 1.125 feet.

Answer 2

Answer:

$\frac{3}{8}$ yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of the piece of the ribbon = $\frac{3}{4}$ yards

Nora will use $\frac{1}{2}$ of it to make a bow

i.e $\frac{1}{2}$ of  $\frac{3}{4}$

Now the actual length of the ribbon will she use for the bow can be calculated  as :

= $\frac{1}{2} *\frac{3}{4}$

= $\frac{3}{8}$

Therefore, the length of the ribbon will she use for the bow = $\frac{3}{8}$ yards
