Jalisa is using 5/6 ward of ribbon to make bows for her party favors. Jalisa needs to make 6 bows. What is the length of the ribbon used for each bow?
(5/6) / 6
(5/6) * (1/6) = 5/36 yards = 5 inches
So how would I work this out on papef
I mean How would I work this out on paper for better understanding
Girl WHAT.
Child anyways..
To find the length of the ribbon used for each bow, we need to divide the total length of the ribbon (5/6 ward) by the number of bows (6).
Step 1: Convert the fraction of the ward to a decimal.
To convert 5/6 to a decimal, divide the numerator (5) by the denominator (6):
5 ÷ 6 = 0.83333...
Step 2: Find the length of the ribbon used for each bow.
Now, we divide the total length of the ribbon (0.83333...) by the number of bows (6):
0.83333... ÷ 6 ≈ 0.13889...
Therefore, the length of the ribbon used for each bow is approximately 0.13889 (rounded to the nearest hundredth).
