Question
Michelle owns a flower shop and uses 17 inches of ribbon to make a bouquet of flowers. She has a roll of ribbon that is 120 yards long.How many complete bouquets can she make with 5 rolls of ribbon? (Assuming no waste) Answer to the nearest WHOLE number
Solution
Sure, let's break it down:
-
First, we need to convert the length of the ribbon from yards to inches because the length of ribbon used for each bouquet is given in inches. There are 36 inches in a yard, so a roll of ribbon that is 120 yards long is 120 * 36 = 4320 inches long.
-
Michelle has 5 rolls of ribbon, so the total length of ribbon she has is 5 * 4320 = 21600 inches.
-
Each bouquet uses 17 inches of ribbon, so the number of complete bouquets she can make is 21600 / 17 = 1270.59.
-
Since we can't have a fraction of a bouquet, we round down to the nearest whole number. So, Michelle can make 1270 complete bouquets with 5 rolls of ribbon.
