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
15 yards of ribbon
this is just me tryin to solve the problem, so i hope it's right
nope. 180 inches = 15 feet, not 15 yards.
So, since 1 yd = 3 ft, now you can figure the yards.
540 yads
To determine how many yards of ribbon Ellen needs to buy, we can follow these steps:
Step 1: Convert inches to yards
Since the store sells ribbon in whole yards, we need to convert inches to yards. There are 36 inches in a yard, so we divide the total number of inches required by 36.
180 inches รท 36 = 5 yards
Therefore, Ellen needs 5 yards of ribbon to have enough for wrapping the large present.
