Larissa had 25 feet of ribbon. She equally divided all the ribbon to make 8 bows for gift boxes. How
many feet of ribbon were used for each bow?

3 feet of ribbon

Step-by-step explanation:

Simply divide 25 by 8. Then you get 3 feet with a remainder of 1.

set each factor equal to 0

4x-3 = 0

2x-1 = 0

solve for x.

4x-3=0

4x=3

x= 3/4

solve for x. 

2x-1= 0

2x= 1

x= 1/2

eventually after a few more steps, your answer should be 1/2 is less than or equal to x and 3/4 is greater than or equal to x
