Answer:
14 bows can be made from [tex]3\frac{2}{3}[/tex] meters of ribbon.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Length of ribbon available to make bows = [tex]3\frac{2}{3}[/tex] meters = [tex]\frac{11}{3}[/tex] meters
Ribbon used to make 1 bow = 1/4 meter
Let,
x be the number of bows made.
[tex]\frac{1}{4}x=\frac{11}{3}[/tex]
Multiplying both sides by 4
[tex]4*\frac{1}{4}x=\frac{11}{3}*4[/tex]
x = [tex]\frac{44}{3}[/tex]
x = 14.66
As the number of bows cannot be in decimal.
Hence,
14 bows can be made from [tex]3\frac{2}{3}[/tex] meters of ribbon.
