Total yards of ribbon left over making the bows is 4.75
According to the question, a hairdresser has 8 and 1 over 2 yards (8.5 yards) of ribbon.
She needs 5 over 8 yards [tex](\frac{5}{8} yards)[/tex] for each bow.
If she is making 6 hair bows. total yards of ribbon required = [tex]6[/tex] × [tex]\frac{5}{8}[/tex]
= 3 × (5/4)
= 3.75
She required 3.75 yards of ribbon for making 6 hair bows.
Total yards of ribbon = Used yards of ribbon + left out yards of ribbon
8.5 = 3.75 + Total yards of ribbon left
⇒ Total yards of ribbon left = 8.5 - 3.75
⇒ Total yards of ribbon left = 4.75 yards of ribbon
She is left with 4.75 yards of ribbon.
