how many bows can you make from 3 and 2/3 meters of ribbon if 1/4 th of ribbon makes one bow?
Is it 1/4 meter for each bow?
Yes it is 1/4 meter for each bow
To calculate the number of bows that can be made from a given length of ribbon, you need to divide the total length of the ribbon by the length required to make one bow.
In this case, we are given that 1/4 of the ribbon length makes one bow. So, the length required to make one bow is 1/4th of a meter, which is equal to 0.25 meters.
To find the number of bows that can be made from 3 and 2/3 meters of ribbon, we divide the total length of the ribbon by the length required for one bow:
3 and 2/3 meters = 3.67 meters
Number of bows = (Total length of ribbon) / (Length required for one bow)
Number of bows = 3.67 meters / 0.25 meters
Number of bows ≈ 14.68 bows
Since we cannot have a fraction of a bow, we take the whole number value. Therefore, from 3 and 2/3 meters of ribbon, you can make approximately 14 bows.
