Lauren bought 1 2/3 yards of ribbon to make bows. Each bow takes 1/3 yard of ribbon. How many bows can she make?
3 in the yard
2 in the two thirds of a yard
3 + 2 = 5
or
1 2/3 = 5/3 yards
5/3 yards * 3 ribbons / yard = 5 ribbons
2 in the two thirds of a yard
3 + 2 = 5
or
1 2/3 = 5/3 yards
5/3 yards * 3 ribbons / yard = 5 ribbons
