Isabella has 7 yards of ribbon to make bows. Each bow is made from a peace of ribbon that is 1/2 yard long. How many bows can Isabella make?

14 bows

Step-by-step explanation:

Isabella has 7 yards of ribbon to make bows. Each bow is made from a peace of ribbon that is 1/2 yard long. How many bows can Isabella make?

The above question is calculated as:

1/2 yard of ribbon = 1 bow

7 yards of ribbon = x bows

We cross multiply

1/2 yard of ribbon × x bows = 7 yards of ribbon × 1 box

x bows = 7 yards of ribbon × 1 box/1/2 yard of ribbon

x bows = (7 ÷ 1/2 ) bows

x bows = 7 × 2 bows

= 14 bows

Therefore, Isabella can make 14 bows

x is the total time in minutes for the free response

you are given number of questions as 15 - m and time per item as 8 minutes

to find x multiply the two givens together:

x = 8 * (15-m) = 8(15-m)
