Malia that uses 51 yards of ribbon to make 17 bows will have to use 204 yards of ribbon to make 68 bows
To solve this problem we will use a rule of three with the problem information:
17 bows-------- 51 yards of ribbon
68 bows-------- x
Applying the rule of three we get:
x = (68 bows * 51 yards of ribbon) /17 bows
x = 204 yards of ribbon
