What answer do you get?
10 yards = 360 inches
To find the maximum number of 6.75 inch strips that can be cut from a spool of ribbon that is 10 yards long, you'll need to convert the measurements to a common unit.
Firstly, let's convert 6.75 inches to yards. Since there are 36 inches in a yard, we can calculate:
6.75 inches ÷ 36 inches/yard = 0.1875 yards
Next, we divide the total length of the ribbon by the length of each strip:
10 yards ÷ 0.1875 yards = 53.33 strips
Since we can't cut a fraction of a strip, we need to round down to the nearest whole number. Therefore, the maximum number of 6.75 inch strips that can be cut from a spool of ribbon that is 10 yards long is 53.
