The correct answer is:
$11$
Explanation
Let each bow use $x$ cm of ribbon and let the total ribbon length be $L$.
Steps:
- Dawn: $L = 12x + 128$. Emily: $L = 9x + 176$.
- Equate and solve: $$12x + 128 = 9x + 176$$ $$3x = 48$$ $$x = 16$$
- Emily’s leftover $176\text{ cm}$ can make $$\frac{176}{16} = 11$$ bows.
Therefore, Emily could make 11 more bows with the ribbon she had left.
