Dawn and Emily each had the same length of ribbon. Both girls used their ribbons to make identical bows. Dawn made 12 bows and had 128 cm of ribbon left. Emily made 9 bows and had 176 cm of ribbon left. How many bows could Emily make with the ribbon she had left?
y = 12x +128; y = 9x +176
...x = 16
...Answer: 176/16 = 11 bows
Also just 3 more? Since they make identical bows, with the same length? :D
