If I have 12 yards of ribbon, how many 3/4 strips can I cut from it?

3/4 inch?

3/4 foot?
3/4 yard?

its 3/4 yards

3/4 yard

12/(3/4) = 12 * (4/3) = 48/3 = 16 pieces

To find out how many 3/4 inch strips you can cut from 12 yards of ribbon, you need to convert the measurement to the same unit.

First, let's convert 12 yards to inches. Since there are 36 inches in a yard, we multiply 12 by 36:

12 yards * 36 inches/yard = 432 inches

Now that we have the total length of the ribbon in inches, we can figure out how many 3/4 inch strips can be cut from it.

To find the number of strips, divide the total length of the ribbon in inches by the width of each strip (3/4 inch):

432 inches / (3/4) inch = 432 inches * (4/3 inches) = 576 strips

Therefore, you can cut 576 strips of size 3/4 inch from a 12-yard ribbon.
