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
