Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Total yards of satin bought by Maddie = [tex]3\frac{2}{3}[/tex] yards
Number of yards required make one ribbon = [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] yards
To find:
Number of complete bows that can be made ?
Solution:
First of all, let us learn about converting the mixed fraction to fractional form.
Formula:
[tex]a\dfrac{b}{c} = \dfrac{a\times c+b}{c}[/tex]
Therefore, total yards of satin bought by Maddie can be written in fractional form as:
[tex]3\dfrac{2}{3} = \dfrac{3\times 3+2}{3} = \dfrac{11}{3}[/tex]
One hair bow requires [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] yards of ribbon.
Number of hair bows that can be made, can be found by dividing the total ribbon length by ribbon required for making one hair bow.
Answer is:
[tex]\dfrac{\frac{11}{3}}{\frac{2}{3}}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{11\times 3}{2\times 3}\\\approx 4[/tex]
4 hair bows can be made.
