Question

It takes half of a yard of ribbon to make a bow. How many bows
can be made with 7 yards of ribbon?
(PLEASE EXPLAIN)
I've been trying to complete these problems since 11:30 last night.

Answer 1

14 because you can make 2 bows with 1 yard and 7 x 2 is 14

Answer 2

14 bows can be made with 7 yards of ribbon.
This is because 7 divided by 0.5 equals 14.
