Answer:
30 bows
Step-by-step explanation:
I assume there are 72 inches of ribbon...
You divide the total by how much is needed for each, so the expression for this would be 72/2.4
If you simplify this expression, you get 30 bows for your answer.
Checking the answer:
30 bows that each needs 2.4 inches of ribbon would need a total of 30×2.4 inches of ribbon.
30×2.4 = 72, and Marissa has 72 inches of ribbon.
