Georgia has 5 yards of ribbon. She needs 1/3 yard to make one bow. How many bows can Georgia make?
5 / (1/3)
5 * 3 = ______ bows
No
This is no
2/3
To find out how many bows Georgia can make with 5 yards of ribbon, we need to divide the total length of the ribbon by the length needed for one bow.
First, we need to convert the length needed for one bow into yards. Since 1 yard is equal to 3 feet, and we have 1/3 yard needed for one bow, we can convert it into feet by multiplying 1/3 by 3:
1/3 yard * 3 feet/yard = 1 foot
So, Georgia needs 1 foot of ribbon to make one bow.
Now, let's calculate how many bows Georgia can make with 5 yards of ribbon. We divide the total length of the ribbon by the length needed for one bow:
5 yards / 1 foot = 5 * 3 feet / 1 foot = 15 bows
Therefore, Georgia can make 15 bows with 5 yards of ribbon.
