Sarah has 4 2/3 m of ribbon. she wants to make hair bows to sell at the craft fair. she knows she wants to make seven bows. how long should you cut the ribbon to be?

This is division. Let’s set up your problem.

I prefer not using mixed numbers. Instead we’ll use 14/3 for the fraction.

So to start off:

14/3 / 7

the 7 can also be 7/1.

use the saying, “keep, change, flip.”

keep the 14/3, change the sign to multiplication, and flip the last fraction.

14/3 x 1/7

now multiply.

14/21 is your fraction. Now simplify.

You get 2/3.

Your answer is:
She should cut the ribbon 2/3 m.

Sis less than or equal to 75 (bottom left)
