To find out how many bows Tavon can make with 5 yards of ribbon, we need to divide the total length of ribbon by the amount needed to make one bow.
First, convert the 5 yards into inches because the given amount of ribbon needed to make one bow is in inches. There are 36 inches in 1 yard, so 5 yards would be 5 * 36 = 180 inches.
Now, we can divide the total length of ribbon (180 inches) by the amount of ribbon needed for one bow, which is 1/6 yard. Since there are 36 inches in 1 yard, we need to convert 1/6 yard into inches.
1/6 yard = (1/6) * 36 inches = 6 inches.
Finally, we can divide the total length of ribbon by the amount needed for one bow:
180 inches / 6 inches = 30.
Therefore, Tavon can make 30 bows with 5 yards of ribbon.
