Question

Bridgette wants to make 14 matching hair bows for her friends. Each hair bow requires ¾ of a yard of ribbon. How many yards of ribbon will Bridgette need to make all the hair bows?

Answer 1

10 1/2 yards

Explanation:

Bridgette wants to make 14 matching hair brows for her friends

Each hair now requires 3/4 of a yard of ribbon

Therefore the number of yards of ribbon that is required to make all the hair bows can be calculated as follows

= 3/4 × 14

= 42/4

= 10 1/2 yards
