$With (\frac{3}{5}) yard, Hideko can tie 2 balloons$ $"With " (3/5) " yard, Hideko can tie " color(purple)(2 " balloons"$

$\frac{3}{10} yard of ribbon required to tie = 1 balloon$ $3/10 " yard of ribbon required to tie " = 1 "balloon"$

$3/5 " yard of ribbon can tie " = (3/5) / (3/10) = (cancel3 * cancel(10)^color(red)(2)) / (cancel5 * cancel3) = 2 " balloons"$
