To find out how much ribbon Nicole had at the start, we can set up a proportion using the given information.

Let's assume the total amount of ribbon Nicole had at the start is represented by "x" (in feet). According to the problem, Nicole used 6 feet of ribbon, which represents 3/8 of the total amount.

So we can set up the following proportion:

6 feet / x = 3/8

To solve this proportion, we can cross-multiply:

6 * 8 = 3 * x

48 = 3x

Now, let's solve for x by dividing both sides of the equation by 3:

48 / 3 = x

16 = x

Therefore, Nicole had 16 feet of ribbon at the start.

3/8x = 6

Solve for x.
