Dayna is making bows that require 3/4 feet of ribbon. How many bows can she make if she has 12 feet of ribbon, and which is the correct equation to solve this problem?
To solve this problem, you can use the equation:
Number of bows = Total ribbon length / Ribbon length required per bow
In this case, the total ribbon length is 12 feet, and each bow requires 3/4 feet of ribbon.
So, the equation to solve this problem is:
Number of bows = 12 / (3/4)
To simplify this equation, you need to divide 12 by the reciprocal of 3/4, which is 4/3.
Number of bows = 12 / (3/4) = 12 * (4/3) = 16
Therefore, Dayna can make 16 bows using 12 feet of ribbon.
