Answer: \(4\frac{2}{3}\)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: The length of the piece of ribbon = \(3\frac{1}{2}\ yards=\frac{7}{2}\ yards\)
The length of ribbon required to make a bow = \(\frac{3}{4}\ yards\)
Now, the number of bows can be made in the given piece of ribbon = \(\frac{7}{2}\div\frac{3}{4}\)
\(=\frac{7}{2}\times\frac{4}{3}=\frac{14}{3}=4\frac{2}{3}\)
Hence, the number of bows can be made in the given piece of ribbon = \(4\frac{2}{3}\)
