Cathy is making bows from a ribbon that is 11 1/5 yards long. She needs to cut the ribbon into equal pieces that measure 2/5 yard to make each bow. How many bows can Cathy make? Sam solved the problem below but got it incorrect. Explain Sam's error.

28 bows

Step-by-step explanation:

Each bow is an equal piece.

1 bow = 2/5 yard

Total yard of ribbon = 11 1/5 yards

Hence:

2/5 yard = 1 bow

11 1/5 yards = x

2/5x = 11 1/5

x = 11 1/5 ÷ 2/5

x = 56/5 ÷ 2/5

x = 56/5 × 5/2

x = 28 bows

Therefore, Cathy can make 28 bows

  y= -3x is the required function.

step-by-step explanation:

we have been given a table:

x             y

0             0

1             -3

3             -9

-2             6

we can see that the values of y is -3 times the value of x

hence, the function would be: y= -3x.

put the values of x will give the same y as in the table that means function is satisfying the given table.
