a pantry contains 6 shelves each 42 inches long. the shelves are to be reclined with fresh paper. the paper is sold in 1 yard rolls. the number of 1 yard rolls needed is:

(6*42)/36 = 7

To determine the number of 1-yard rolls needed to recline the shelves, you'll need to calculate the total length of all the shelves and convert it into yards.

Each shelf is 42 inches long, and since there are 6 shelves, the total length of all the shelves would be:

42 inches * 6 = 252 inches

To convert inches into yards, you need to know that:

1 yard = 36 inches

So, to convert 252 inches into yards, divide the total length by 36:

252 inches / 36 inches/yard = 7 yards

Therefore, you would need 7 rolls of 1 yard paper to recline all the shelves in the pantry.
