Final answer:
Emily has a total of 27 1/4 yards of ribbon. Each bow requires 1 5/6 yards, therefore Emily can make 14 bows with the ribbon she has.
Explanation:
To solve this problem, we first need to determine the total amount of ribbon that Emily has. She has one piece that is 23 yards long and another that is 4 1/4 yards long. To find the total, we add these two lengths together:
23 yards + 4 1/4 yards = 27 1/4 yards
Each bow Emily makes needs 1 5/6 yards of ribbon. To find out how many bows she can make, we divide the total amount of ribbon by the amount needed for each bow:
27 1/4 yards ÷ 1 5/6 yards = 14.6(around)
Since Emily cannot make a fraction of a bow, we round down to the nearest whole number. So, Emily can make 14 bows.

Answer:
14
Step-by-step explanation:
In total, Emily has [tex]23+4\frac{1}{4}=27\frac{1}{4}=\frac{109}{4}[/tex] yards of ribbon.
Each bow requires [tex]1\frac{5}{6}=\frac{11}{6}[/tex] yards of ribbon
To figure out, we divide total amount of ribbon by amount each bow needs:
Number of bows = [tex]\frac{\frac{109}{4}}{\frac{11}{6}}=14.86[/tex]
So the maximum number of "complete" bows Emily can make is 14
