Isabella has 7 yards of ribbon to make bows. Each bow is made from a peace of ribbon that is 1/2 yard long. How many bows can Isabella make?

14 bows

Step-by-step explanation:

Isabella has 7 yards of ribbon to make bows. Each bow is made from a peace of ribbon that is 1/2 yard long. How many bows can Isabella make?

The above question is calculated as:

1/2 yard of ribbon = 1 bow

7 yards of ribbon = x bows

We cross multiply

1/2 yard of ribbon × x bows = 7 yards of ribbon × 1 box

x bows = 7 yards of ribbon × 1 box/1/2 yard of ribbon

x bows = (7 ÷ 1/2 ) bows

x bows = 7 × 2 bows

= 14 bows

Therefore, Isabella can make 14 bows

if she was to only spend a dollar she can get 1lb

step-by-step explanation:

step-by-step explanation: given equation a = h(b 1+b 2)

also we are given values of a, h and b 1 as :

a = 16, h = 4, and b 1 = 3.

in order to solve it for b 2, we need to plug the given values of   a, h and b 1 .

therefore, plugging values of   a, h and b 1   in given equation, we get

16 = 4( 3 + b 2)

first dividing both sides by 4, we get

4 = 3 + b 2

subtracting 3 from both sides, we get

4 -3 = 3 -3 + b 2

1 = b 2.
