The ribbon on a spool is 10 yards long. How many 6 inch pieces of ribbon can be cut from the spool?
To find out how many 6-inch pieces of ribbon can be cut from a spool that is 10 yards long, we need to convert the length of the spool from yards to inches.
1 yard is equal to 36 inches.
So, 10 yards is equal to 10 x 36 = 360 inches.
Now, we can divide the length of the spool in inches by the length of each 6-inch piece:
360 inches / 6 inches = 60 pieces.
Therefore, you can cut 60 pieces of 6-inch ribbon from a spool that is 10 yards long.
To find out how many 6-inch pieces of ribbon can be cut from a 10-yard spool, we need to convert the units of measurement so that they match.
Since there are 36 inches in a yard, we can calculate the total inches of ribbon in the spool:
10 yards * 36 inches/yard = 360 inches
Now that we have the total number of inches, we can determine how many 6-inch pieces can be cut:
360 inches / 6 inches/piece = 60 pieces
Therefore, you can cut 60 pieces of 6-inch ribbon from a 10-yard spool.
10yds * 36in/yd. = 360 In.
360in * 1ribbon/6in. = 60 Ribbons.
