a hairdresser is making 6 hair bows. she needs 5 over 8 yards for each bow. if she has 8 and 1 over 2 yards of ribbon, how much will be left over after making the bows?

Respuesta :

Total yards of ribbon left over making the bows  is 4.75

According to the question, a hairdresser has 8 and 1 over 2 yards (8.5 yards) of ribbon.

She needs 5 over 8 yards [tex](\frac{5}{8} yards)[/tex] for each bow.

If she is making 6 hair bows. total yards of ribbon required = [tex]6[/tex] × [tex]\frac{5}{8}[/tex]

= 3 × (5/4)

= 3.75

She required 3.75 yards of ribbon for making 6 hair bows.

Total yards of ribbon = Used yards of ribbon + left out yards of ribbon

8.5 = 3.75 + Total yards of ribbon left

⇒ Total yards of ribbon left = 8.5 - 3.75

⇒ Total yards of ribbon left = 4.75 yards of ribbon

She is left with 4.75 yards of ribbon.
