Anais bought 4 1/2 yards of ribbon. She had 3 feet 8 inches of ribbon left after trimming some curtains. How many inches of ribbon did Anais use to trim the curtains?

Anais used _____ inches of ribbon.

118

36 To find the number of inches of ribbon that Anais used to trim the curtains, we first need to convert the 4 1/2 yards of ribbon into inches.

1 yard is equal to 3 feet, so 4 1/2 yards is equal to 4 * 3 = 12 feet.
Since 1 foot is equal to 12 inches, 12 feet is equal to 12 * 12 = 144 inches.
So, 4 1/2 yards of ribbon is equal to 144 inches.

Now, let's convert 3 feet 8 inches into inches.
Since 1 foot is equal to 12 inches, 3 feet is equal to 3 * 12 = 36 inches.
Adding the 8 inches, we have a total of 36 + 8 = 44 inches.

To find the amount of ribbon used to trim the curtains, we subtract the amount of leftover ribbon from the total length of ribbon.
So, 144 inches - 44 inches = 100 inches.

Therefore, Anais used 100 inches of ribbon to trim the curtains.
