julia wants to make 8 bows using 18 feet of ribbon.she wants to use an equal length of ribbon for each bow with no ribbon left over.how many feet of ribbon can she use for each bow?
18/8 = 2 1/4 feet
That's what I thought.so will there be anything left over or is that the exact length of each piece of ribbon she uses?
What did you get when you divided 18 by 8?
2.25 or 2 1/4
Yep. That's right.

what is the answer
Julia wants to make 8 bows using 18 feet of ribbon.She wants to use an equal length of ribbon for each bow with no ribbon left over.How many feet of ribbon can she use for each bow?
To find out how many feet of ribbon Julia can use for each bow, we need to divide the total length of ribbon she has (18 feet) by the number of bows she wants to make (8).
To calculate this, we simply divide 18 by 8:
18 / 8 = 2.25
Therefore, Julia can use 2.25 feet of ribbon for each bow.
However, since we can't have fractional lengths when dealing with physical objects, we need to round this down to the nearest whole number.
Thus, Julia can use 2 feet of ribbon for each bow, with no leftover ribbon.
