Answer:
9bows
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we were told that Layla needs 1/3 of a foot of ribbon to make a bow, this can be represented as;
1/3 foot = 1 bow
If she has 3feet of ribbon, the amount of bow she can make can be expressed as;
3feet = x
Equating both
1/3 foot = 1 bow
3feet = x bow
Cross multiply
1/3 ×x = 3
x/3 = 3
Cross multiply
x = 3×3
x = 9bows
Hence Layla can make 9bows out of 3feet ribbon
