Jill made 12 bows. She used 1/3 meter of ribbon for each bow. How much ribbon did she use altogether?
a.3/z
b.3/3z
c. 3z
d. 3- z
How many 3's fit into 12?
To find out how much ribbon Jill used altogether, we need to calculate the total length of ribbon used for each bow and then sum them up.
Jill made 12 bows, and for each bow, she used 1/3 meter of ribbon.
To calculate the total length of ribbon used, we can multiply the amount of ribbon used for each bow by the number of bows.
So, the total length of ribbon Jill used is:
1/3 meter/bow × 12 bows = 12/3 meter = 4 meters
Therefore, Jill used a total of 4 meters of ribbon altogether.
The correct answer is c. 3z.
