I needs324 inches of frige to put around the edge of tablecloth .the fringe come in lengths of 10 yards.if I.buys1package,how many feet of fringe will I have left over.
1 yard = 36 inches
10 * 36 - ?
To solve this problem, we need to convert the given measurements into the same units.
First, let's convert 324 inches to feet. Since there are 12 inches in a foot, we divide 324 by 12:
324 inches ÷ 12 inches/foot = 27 feet
Therefore, you need 27 feet of fringe to put around the edge of the tablecloth.
Now, we need to determine how much fringe is in a package. It is given that the fringe comes in lengths of 10 yards. Since there are 3 feet in a yard, we can calculate the fringe length in feet:
10 yards × 3 feet/yard = 30 feet
So, each package contains 30 feet of fringe.
Finally, to determine how much fringe will be left over, we subtract the fringe required from the total fringe in a package:
30 feet - 27 feet = 3 feet
If you buy one package, you will have 3 feet of fringe left over.
