julia wants to make 8 bows using 18 feet of ribbon.she wants to use an equal length of ribbon for each bow with no ribbon left over.how many feet of ribbon can she use for each bow?
Ms. Sue
18/8 = 2 1/4 feet



That's what I thought.so will there be anything left over or is that the exact length of each piece of ribbon she uses?
Ms. Sue
What did you get when you divided 18 by 8?

2.25 or 2 1/4
Ms. Sue
Yep. That's right.
