Question

Serenity wanted to make a lot of bows that she could sell. She had 6 1/4 yards of ribbon. Each bow takes 3/4 yard to make. How many bows could she make? How much extra fabric was left?

Answer 1

Answer:

8 Bows

Step-by-step explanation:

I will be using money as an example.

It takes 4 quarters to make a dollar. (1/4 1/4 1/4 1/4 = 1)

By using this method we will know that it takes 24 quarters to make 6 dollars and the additional 1/4 is an extra quarter. Now that we have 25 quarters we will divide it by 3 because it takes 3/4 to make a bow.

6x4=24

24 + 1 = 25

25/3= 8.333333
