Question

Sara needs one third of a yard of ribbon to make a bow. She has 10 yards of ribbon. How many bows can she make?

Answer 1

30

Explanation:

If she needs just one third then she can make three ribbons out of a yard. so you multiply 3 by the number of yards she has so:

3 x 10 = 30

Answer 2

30 bows

To find how many bows she can make, divide 10 by 1/3

10 / (1/3)

= 30

So, Sara can make 30 bows
