ellen needs to buy 180 inches of ribbon to wrap a large present. the store sells ribbon only in whole yards. How many yards does ellen need to buy to have enough ribbon? Please answer thanks

180 / 36 = ?

To find out how many yards Ellen needs to buy, we need to convert the given inches into yards.

Since there are 36 inches in one yard, we can divide the total inches by 36 to get the answer.

So, 180 inches ÷ 36 inches/yard = 5 yards.

Therefore, Ellen needs to buy 5 yards of ribbon to have enough to wrap the large present.
