  • Question
  • A piece of ribbon 4 yards long is used to make bows requiring 15 inches of ribbon for each. What is the maximum number of bows that can be made?


  • Options
  • A. 8
  • B. 9
  • C. 10
  • D. 11

  • Correct Answer


  • Explanation

    The maximum number of bows will be 4 yards (= 4 x 36 inches) divided by 15 inches.

    This gives 9.6. But as a fraction of a bow is no use, we can only make 9 bows.
