6 yards of ribbon. It takes

1
yard of ribbon to make a bow. How many bows can she make with the ribbon that she has?
I have no idea what this answer is btw <_>
bro what the heck this no help at all!
To find out how many bows Elena can make, we need to divide the total yards of ribbon she has by the amount of ribbon needed to make one bow.
Elena has 6 yards of ribbon, and it takes 1/4 yard of ribbon to make one bow. To divide a whole number (6) by a fraction (1/4), we need to remember that dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal (flipping the fraction upside down).
So, to find the number of bows Elena can make, we can set up the following calculation:
Number of bows = Total yards of ribbon ÷ Ribbon needed for one bow
Number of bows = 6 ÷ (1/4)
To simplify this division, we multiply the divisor (1/4) by its reciprocal (4/1):
Number of bows = 6 ÷ (1/4) = 6 × (4/1)
Multiplying the numerator and denominator, we get:
Number of bows = 6 × 4 = 24
Therefore, Elena can make 24 bows with the ribbon she has.
what?
can you be more clear?-
seriously- this makes no sense
Need to print fractions in understandable terms, e.g. 1/4?
If it takes 1/4 yard to make a bow, 1/4 = .25.
6/.25 = ?
Hope this helps.
