To find out the greatest number of spirit ribbons Joey can make from a piece of ribbon, you need to divide the total length of the ribbon by the length of each spirit ribbon.

First, let's convert the length of each spirit ribbon to a single fraction. We add the whole number (6) and the fractional part (3/4):

6 + 3/4 = 24/4 + 3/4 = 27/4

Now we can calculate the number of spirit ribbons:

Greatest Number = Total Length of Ribbon / Length of Each Spirit Ribbon

Greatest Number = 97 inches / (27/4) inches

To divide by a fraction, we can multiply by its reciprocal:

Greatest Number = 97 inches * (4/27 inches)

Now we can calculate:

Greatest Number = (97 inches * 4) / 27 inches

Greatest Number ≈ 14.37

Since we can't have a fraction of a ribbon, we need to round down to the nearest whole number because we can't make a fraction of a ribbon. Therefore, Joey can make a maximum of 14 spirit ribbons from the piece of ribbon he has.
