Nora has a piece of ribbon that is 3/4 yard long. She will use 1/2 of it to make a bow. What length of the ribbon will she use for the bow?
Well first you have to figure out how many feet are in a yard. Answer is 3 then minus 3/4 or 75% which will give you 2.25 feet. Then do
1 / 2 of (2.25 feet) = 1.125 feet.
Answer:
\(\frac{3}{8}\) yards
Step-by-step explanation:
Length of the piece of the ribbon = \(\frac{3}{4}\) yards
Nora will use \(\frac{1}{2}\) of it to make a bow
i.e \(\frac{1}{2}\) of \(\frac{3}{4}\)
Now the actual length of the ribbon will she use for the bow can be calculated as :
= \(\frac{1}{2} *\frac{3}{4}\)
= \(\frac{3}{8}\)
Therefore, the length of the ribbon will she use for the bow = \(\frac{3}{8}\) yards
