Hannah needs 78 inches to make a picture frame. She knows that there are 60 inches in 5 feet. How many feet of ribbon are in 78 inches?

21
There are 60inches in 5 feet, so there are 60 divided by 5 = 13 inches in 1 foot. The unit rate is 12.
To find out how many feet of ribbon are in 78 inches, we need to convert inches to feet. We know that there are 12 inches in a foot, so to convert inches to feet, divide the number of inches by 12.
In this case, Hannah needs to convert 78 inches to feet. Therefore, we divide 78 by 12:
78 inches ÷ 12 = 6.5 feet
So, there are 6.5 feet of ribbon in 78 inches.
