Answer:

Mike can make 4 bows

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]1\ bow = 3\frac{1}{2}\ ft[/tex]

[tex]Ribbon = 14\ ft[/tex]

Required

Determine the number of bows he can make

To do this, we simply divide the length of the ribbon by length of 1 bow:

i.e.

[tex]Number = Ribbon/1\ bow[/tex]

[tex]Number = 14\ ft/3\frac{1}{2}\ ft[/tex]

[tex]Number = 14/3\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

[tex]Number = 14/\frac{7}{2}[/tex]

Convert to *

[tex]Number = 14 * \frac{2}{7}[/tex]

[tex]Number = \frac{28}{7}[/tex]

[tex]Number = 4[/tex]

Hence, Mike can make 4 bows
