Cathy is making bows from a ribbon that is 11 1/5 yards long. She needs to cut the ribbon into equal pieces that measure 2/5 yar d to make each bow. How many bows can Cathy make? Sam solved the problem below but got it incorrect. Explain Sam's error.
1 answer:
Answer:
28 bows
Step-by-step explanation:
Each bow is an equal piece.
1 bow = 2/5 yard
Total yard of ribbon = 11 1/5 yards
Hence:
2/5 yard = 1 bow
11 1/5 yards = x
2/5x = 11 1/5
x = 11 1/5 ÷ 2/5
x = 56/5 ÷ 2/5
x = 56/5 × 5/2
x = 28 bows
Therefore, Cathy can make 28 bows

Answer:
23/4
Step-by-step explanation:
This means that it is 3/4 of the distance in the x <u>and</u> y coordinates, so it is 3/4 of the way from 2 to 7, and since this is a difference of 7-2=5, then it is 2 + (5 * 3/4) or 2 + 15/4 or 23/4.
Answer:
13
Step-by-step explanation:
(3 times 2)+7=x
6+7=x
x=13
