Martha has a ribbon that is 1 3/4 meters long. She cuts the ribbon into 3 equal-sized pieces. She uses 1 of the pieces to make gift bows. Each bow uses 7/48 of a meter of ribbon. How many gift bows does Martha make?

4 gifts

Step-by-step explanation:

We have in total have a ribbon that measures 1.75 meters, and divide that into three equal pieces, therefore:

1.75 / 3 = 0.5834

Now, we are told that we must calculate how many bows he can make, knowing that each bow is 7/48, therefore:

 0.5834 / (7/48) = 4

Which means that you can make 4 gifts since you can make 4 bows in total

24

step-by-step explanation:

if it takes 8 pounds to make 12 divide 12 by 8 and you get 1.5, 1.5 x 16 = 24

for the friend request.

when a figure, such as triangle (xyz) is reflected over the line y = x to create x'y'z' the x-coordinates and y-coordinates of the original image (pre-image) will be reversed for the image. (e.g., (x, y) > (y, x)) this means that the pre-image position of the x- and y-coordinates switch places which in turn provides a mirror like image of the original xyz.  

i notice that when i draw a line segment from x to x', that the points are parallel from each other -- they are exactly across from each other and do not intersect with any other points.  

yes, think i would see the same characteristic if you drew the line segment connecting y with the reflecting line and then y' with the reflecting line because of the essence of reflections. because it is a mirror image, each point was effected the same way which leads me to conclude that they same would apply to y and y'.
