Dawn and Emily each had the same length of ribbon. Both girls used their ribbon left. Emily made 9 bows and had 176 cm of ribbon left. How many ribbons to make identical bows. Dawn made 12 bows and had 128 cm of bows could Emily make with the ribbon she had left?

tep 1: Calculate the total ribbon length used for bows.

Subtract the remaining ribbon length from the initial ribbon length: Total ribbon length used = Initial ribbon length – Remaining ribbon length. This step needs the initial ribbon length which is not provided in the original prompt.

Step 2: Calculate the ribbon length per bow.

Divide the total ribbon length used for bows (from Step 1) by the number of bows Dawn made (12): Ribbon length per bow = Total ribbon length used / 12.

Step 3: Calculate the number of bows Emily can make.

Divide Emily’s remaining ribbon length (176 cm) by the ribbon length per bow (from Step 2): Number of bows Emily can make = 176 cm / Ribbon length per bow.

Final Answer

The final answer cannot be calculated without knowing the initial length of ribbon Dawn had.
