Answer: The required length of the ribbon used for each bow is 0.12 yard.
Step-by-step explanation: Given that Jalisa is using [tex]\dfrac{5}{6}[/tex] yard of ribbon to make bows for her party favors and Jalisa needs to make 6 bows.
We are to find the length of the ribbon used for each bow.
We will be using the UNITARY method to solve the problem.
Length of the ribbon used to make 6 bows is
[tex]\dfrac{5}{6}~\textup{yard}.[/tex]
So, the length of the ribbon used to make one row is given by
[tex]\dfrac{\frac{5}{6}}{6}=\dfrac{5}{6}\times\dfrac{1}{6}=\dfrac{5}{36}=0.12.[/tex]
Thus, the required length of the ribbon used for each bow is 0.12 yard.
