You make bows for gifts using 2/3 yard of ribbon for each bow you have 4 feet of red ribbon and 5 feet a green ribbon how many bows can you make

Answer 1

So we have 4ft of red ribbon, and 5ft of green ribbon and they want to know how many bows that are 2/3 length we can get out of each ribbon

For the 4ft of red ribbon it is 4 divided 2/3 remember that when we divide fractions we have to flip the numerator and the denominator and multiply.

So now it is 4 X 3/2 = 12/2 or 6 red ribbon

With the green same thing so it will be 5ft divided by 2/3 flip the numerator and the denominator and multiply

So now it is 5 X 3/2 = 15/2 or 7.5 green ribbon

I hope that helps :)
