Question

You are wrapping boxes for a fundraiser. You have 80 large boxes. You need 2 3/4 feet of ribbon for each large box. Each roll of ribbon has 50 feet of ribbon

Answer 1

You have not asked a question.

Clearly, to wrap all 80 boxes, you need

80 * 2 3/4 = 220 ft of ribbon.

Now you have to decide just what it is you want to know...

Plz anwser soon i need help!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 3

can someone explain how many rolls of ribbon will you need

Answer 4

To calculate the total amount of ribbon needed for the 80 large boxes, we can use the following steps:

1. Calculate the total amount of ribbon needed for one large box:
2 3/4 feet of ribbon per large box.

2. Convert the mixed fraction, 2 3/4, to an improper fraction:
2 3/4 = (2 * 4 + 3) / 4 = 11/4.

3. Multiply the amount of ribbon needed for one large box by the number of large boxes:
(11/4) feet/box * 80 boxes = (11/4) * 80 = 880/4 = 220 feet of ribbon.

Now let's calculate how many rolls of ribbon are needed based on the given information:

1. Determine the length of ribbon on each roll:
Each roll has 50 feet of ribbon.

2. Divide the total amount of ribbon needed by the length of ribbon on each roll:
220 feet of ribbon / 50 feet/roll = 4.4 rolls.

Since you cannot have a fraction of a roll, you need to round up to the nearest whole number. Therefore, you would need at least 5 rolls of ribbon to wrap 80 large boxes.
