How would you solve this problem?

• add

• subtract

• multiply

• divide

Answer explanation

We should divide since we want to know how many times 1/4 goes into 8. The key word is "each" meaning that each bow uses the same amount of ribbon so the number of bows times 1/4 equals the total amount of ribbon. We don't know the number of bows so we divide the total amount to see how many 1/4 lengths will fit inside the 8 ft.
