Diego has 15 yards of ribbon. He will use 2/5 of the ribbon to make bows for some costumes. Each bow will be made with 1/3 yard of ribbon. Diego will make 5/6 of the bows today. How many bows will he make today?

2/5 * 15 = 6 yards

6 divided by 1/3 = 6 * 3/1 = 18 bows

5/6 * 18 = ?

15 bows

To find out how many bows Diego will make today, we need to follow these steps:

Step 1: Calculate how much ribbon Diego will use for the bows.
Diego will use 2/5 of the 15 yards of ribbon for the bows. We can calculate this by multiplying 15 by 2/5:
15 * 2/5 = 6.

Therefore, Diego will use 6 yards of ribbon for the bows.

Step 2: Determine how many bows can be made with 1/3 yard of ribbon each.
We divide the amount of ribbon used for the bows (6 yards) by the amount of ribbon required for each bow (1/3 yard):
6 / (1/3) = 6 * (3/1) = 18.

Therefore, Diego can make 18 bows in total.

Step 3: Calculate the number of bows Diego will make today.
Diego will make 5/6 of the bows today. We can calculate this by multiplying the total number of bows (18) by 5/6:
18 * 5/6 = 90/6 = 15.

Therefore, Diego will make 15 bows today.
