Question

Nicole is making 1,000 bows for people who donate to the library book sale. She needs a piece of ribbon that is o.75 meters long for each bow. How many meters of ribbon does Nicole need to make for the bows? Explain how to find the answer.

Answer 1

Answer:

750 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to calculate the total amount of ribbon that she needs, we need to multiply the amount of ribbon that each bow needs by the total number of bows that need to be made. Since we are given both of these values we simply multiply and solve for x which is the total amount of ribbon that Nicole needs.

1000 * 0.75 = 750 meters

Therefore, Nicole needs a total of 750 meters to make all of the needed bows.
