To find out how many yards of ribbon Olivia needs for 18 balloons, we first need to determine the total length of ribbon used for one balloon.
Given that Olivia ties 2.5 feet of ribbon onto a balloon, we can convert this measurement to yards by dividing by 3 since there are 3 feet in a yard.
2.5 feet รท 3 = 0.83 yards (rounded to two decimal places)
Now, we know that Olivia needs 0.83 yards of ribbon for one balloon.
To find the total amount of ribbon needed for 18 balloons, we multiply the required amount per balloon by the number of balloons:
0.83 yards * 18 = 14.94 yards (rounded to two decimal places)
So, Olivia needs approximately 14.94 yards of ribbon for 18 balloons.
