Mari makes bows for floral arrangements. she uses 1/8 of a yard ribbon for each bow. how many bows can she make from 2 spools that each has 24 yards ribbon?

First, you need to find out how much ribbon she has total. Because there are two spools, you multiply 24 x 2. The answer for that is 48. Then you have to figure out how many bows she can make. Each bow uses 1/8 of a piece of yard of ribbon, so you can divide 48 by 8. Your answer would then be 6 bows.

Here are the equations.

24*2 = X

X/8 = B

Where X represents the yards of ribbon available and B represents the number of bows that Mari can make.

I'm just guessing, but my answer would c. 0 to 300.
