Answer:
Equation : [tex]\frac{2}{5}r=8[/tex]
She can make 20 bows with 8 yards of ribbon
Step-by-step explanation:
Gloria needs 2/5 yard of ribbons to make each bow.
Length of 1 bow =[tex]\frac{2}{5} yards[/tex]
Let r be the no. of bows made
So, Length of r bows = [tex]\frac{2}{5}r[/tex]
We are given that she can make r bows with 8 yards of ribbon
So, Equation : [tex]\frac{2}{5}r=8[/tex]
[tex]r=\frac{8 \times 5}{2}[/tex]
r=20
Hence She can make 20 bows with 8 yards of ribbon
