The coach has between 40 and 50 ribbons for the track meet she has an equal number of ribbons for each events there are 5 ribbons left how many ribbons might there be for each event?

Well, if the coach has between 40 and 50 ribbons total and an equal number for each event, we can assume she has around 45 ribbons in total. If there are 5 ribbons left, that means she has already distributed 40 ribbons among the events. So, there could be 8 ribbons for each of the 5 track events.
