ty needs to cut strips of wrapping paper that are 9 inches wide. if ty has 2 rolls of wrapping paper that are each 15 feet long,how many 9 inch strips can he cut?
(30 * 12) / 9 = ?
To find out how many 9 inch strips Ty can cut from the rolls of wrapping paper, we need to convert the measurements to a common unit.
First, we need to convert the length of each roll from feet to inches. Since 1 foot is equal to 12 inches, each roll is 15 feet * 12 inches/foot = 180 inches long.
Next, we need to calculate how many 9 inch strips can be cut from each roll. To do this, we divide the length of each roll by the width of each strip: 180 inches / 9 inches = 20 strips per roll.
Finally, to find out the total number of strips Ty can cut from both rolls, we multiply the number of strips per roll by the number of rolls: 20 strips per roll * 2 rolls = 40 strips in total.
Therefore, Ty can cut a total of 40 strips of wrapping paper that are 9 inches wide.
