Susannah purchased 8 5/6 feet of ribbon. How many bows can she make with all that ribbon? Show 2 different ways that you could figure it out. Include at least 1 diagram in your explanation.

Answer 1

How much ribbon does she need for each bow?

5/6 can only make 1 of 4 ft
together 2 + 1 = 3 bow.

3 bow....
