Question

Veronica has 7 yards of ribbon. Each bow requires 3/4 of a yard ribbon. How many bows will she be able to make with the ribbon she has. Will she have any left

Answer 1

Answer && Step-by-step explanation:

7 yards == 4/4

by simple arithmetic remove 3/4 from 7 until you can no longer obtain 3/4 from it

7 => 6*1/4

6*1/4=>5*2/4

5*2/4=>4*3/4

4*3/4=>4

4=> 3*1/4

3*1/4=>2*2/4

2*2/4=>1*3/4

1*3/4=>1

1=>1/4

1/4 remains and 9 bows were made
