Question

UpStudy AI · Accepted Answer

Bella uses $$ \frac{3}{4} $$ yard of ribbon for each bow. For 6 bows, the total amount of ribbon is calculated as:

$$
6 \times \frac{3}{4}
$$

Multiply the numerator:

$$
6 \times 3 = 18
$$

Thus, we have:

$$
\frac{18}{4}
$$

Simplify the fraction by dividing the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor (2):

$$
\frac{18 \div 2}{4 \div 2} = \frac{9}{2}
$$

Convert the improper fraction $$\frac{9}{2}$$ into a mixed number:

$$
\frac{9}{2} = 4 \frac{1}{2}
$$

So, the total amount of ribbon Bella uses is $$ 4 \frac{1}{2} $$ yards.

The correct answer is (C) $$ 4 \frac{1}{2} $$.
Bella uses a total of $$ 4 \frac{1}{2} $$ yards of ribbon to make all 6 bows.
