Sagot :

julxaaaa
she can make 12 bows because there are 3 feet in one yard so 8*3 is 24. then you divide 24 by 2 and you get 12 
given
2ft ribbon=1bow
8 yards of ribbon
1yard=3ft

equations
8yardsx3ft=24ft ribbon               |
24ft ribbon/2 ribbon*=12 bows|
* Each bow is made of 2 ft of ribbon, The total number of ft you have of ribbon is 24 feet. In order to find how many ribbons you can make. Divid the total feet of ribbon by the feet needed in order to make 1 bow, 2ft ribbon. 24ft/2ft=12ft ribbon.

1unit2
˚ if you multiply by then divid by units, the same units will cancel out and you get left with the other unit. In this case it will be ft.
