Nigel has 3 rolls of ribbon. each roll has 8 3/4 feet of ribbon. it takes 1 3/4 feet of ribbon to make one bow. what is the total number of bows that nigel can make using these 3 rolls of ribbon

15 bows

Step-by-step explanation:

A roll of ribbon has 8 3/4 feet of ribbon

to make a bow, you use 1 3/4 feet of ribbon

first convert to decimal

= 8 3/4 = 8.75

=1 3/4 = 1.75

to get the number of bows to make from  3 rolls of ribbon,

= if one bow = 1.75 ribbon

and one roll of ribbon has 8.75 feet of ribbon

then 3 rolls will have 3* 8.75 = 26.25 feet

therefore 26.65 feet of ribbon will make

=26.65/1.7=15

=15 bows

the answer to the expression is 83

b. 1.25 hr

step-by-step explanation:

if you have a constant speed of 60 mph, then you have a ratio between 60 mi. to 1 hr. dividing both sides by 60 we get the ratio

1 mi. to

then mult. both sides by 75 we get the ratio

75 mi. to

simplifying we get

75 mi. to

or 1.25 hr.
