How many 6 inch pieces can you cut from a spool of ribbon that is 10 yards long?
find out how many inches in 10 yards, then divide that by 6
To determine the number of 6-inch pieces that can be cut from a 10-yard spool of ribbon, we need to convert the measurements into the same unit.
First, let's convert the length of the ribbon from yards to inches:
1 yard = 36 inches
10 yards = 10 * 36 = 360 inches
Next, we divide the total length of the ribbon by the length of each piece:
360 inches / 6 inches = 60
Therefore, you can cut 60 pieces that are 6 inches long from a spool of ribbon that is 10 yards long.
