Question

JoJo uses 50 feet of ribbon to create 20 hair bows. at this rate how many feet of ribbon are needed to create one hair bow?

Answer 1

2.5

Explanation:

beings that she made 20 bows at a constant rate, then all bows will be of the same length, so we can divide the 50 ft. of ribbon into 20 pieces as shown

50 / 20 = 2.5

you can do this with other problems of this type, and if you want to double check your work? multiply back to the beginning

2.5 * 20 = 50

hope this answers what you needed it to :)

Answer 2

2.5 feet of ribbon

Explanation:

50 ÷ 20 =2 left 10

10 cant ÷ 20 change to 10.0

10.0 ÷ 20 = 0.5

2 + 0.5 = 2.5
