Answer 2

Answer:

30 bows

Step-by-step explanation:

I assume there are 72 inches of ribbon...

You divide the total by how much is needed for each, so the expression for this would be 72/2.4

If you simplify this expression, you get 30 bows for your answer.

Checking the answer:

30 bows that each needs 2.4 inches of ribbon would need a total of 30×2.4 inches of ribbon.

30×2.4 = 72, and Marissa has 72 inches of ribbon.
