Question
Sue is wrapping gifts and needs some ribbon for each package. She needs to know how much money she will need for the ribbon if each of the 5 packages requires 29 inches. Ribbon sells for $1.00 per yard.Write in the box below how many yards Sue will need. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.
Solution
First, we need to find out the total length of ribbon Sue needs in inches. Since each package requires 29 inches of ribbon and there are 5 packages, we multiply 29 inches by 5.
29 inches/package * 5 packages = 145 inches
Next, we need to convert inches to yards since the ribbon is sold by the yard. There are 36 inches in a yard, so we divide the total inches by 36 to get the total yards.
145 inches / 36 inches/yard = 4.03 yards
So, Sue will need approximately 4.03 yards of ribbon.
