A piece of ribbon 8 yeard long is used to make bows requiring 15 inches of ribbon for each. What is the maximum number of bows that can be made?
There are 36 inches in a yard, so a piece of 8 yard ribbon is 8*36 = 288 inches long. Each bow requires 15 inches of ribbon, so the maximum number of bows that can be made is 288/15 = 19. So the answer is 19
