15/(5/4) = 15 * (4/5) = 60/5 = ?
Sadie can you tell me how you did the equation?
Ms. Sue
Maria -- it isn't an equation. She divided 15 by 1.25.
15 ft is the amount of ribbon that Jane has. 1 1/4 ft is the amount of ribbon needed for each bow- 1 1/4 ft can also equal 1.25 ft because 1/4= 0.25 and 1=1. Therefore, 15 feet divided by 1.25 equals 12. This can be proven by multiplying 12 by 1.25 which equals 15.
thank you
