leslie needs 324 inches of fringe to put around the edge of a tablecloth. the fringe comes in lengths of 10 yards. if leslie buys 1 package of fringe, how many feet of fringe will she have left over?

1 yard = 36 inches

Hi

2 feet

To find out how many feet of fringe Leslie will have left over, we first need to convert the length of the fringe needed and the length of the fringe in a package to the same unit of measurement.

Given:
Leslie needs 324 inches of fringe.
The fringe comes in lengths of 10 yards.

To convert the lengths to the same unit, we can use the following conversion factors:
1 yard = 3 feet
1 foot = 12 inches

1. First, let's convert the length of fringe needed from inches to yards:
324 inches ÷ 36 inches/yard = 9 yards

2. We know that the fringe comes in lengths of 10 yards per package. Since Leslie buys only 1 package, she will have:
9 yards (fringe needed) - 10 yards (package length) = -1 yard

However, since we want to find the answer in feet, let's convert the remaining -1 yard to feet:
-1 yard × 3 feet/yard = -3 feet

Therefore, if Leslie buys 1 package of fringe, she would have -3 feet of fringe left over. This negative value indicates that she doesn't have enough fringe to cover the tablecloth entirely. Leslie would need to buy an additional package of fringe.
