Answer:

21 bows

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 21/22 is just 1 short of a whole 1, we can first round it up to a whole 1, and subtract it later. 21 divided by 1 is just 21, and now is the time to subtract the part in which we rounded out. 1/22 times 21 is 21/22, so Layla can't make an entire bow with it.
