Question

Vicky bought 6 and 2/3 yards of one type of ribbon and 4 and 3/4 yards of another type of ribbon to make hair bows. If each bow takes 1 and 1/2 yards, how many hair bows can she make?
Ms. Sue
6 2/3 = 20/3
1 1/2 = 3/2
4 3/4 = 19/4

(20/3) / (3/2)
(20/3) * (2/3) = 40/9 = 4 bows

(19/4) / (3/2)
(19/4) * (2/3) = 38/12 = 3 bows
