cassie needs 16 yards of yarn and she has 580 inches of yarn does she have enough and explain please
1 yard = 36 inches. Because of this, if you multiply 36 x 16, you will get a total of 576.
So yes, Cassie has enough yarn.
there are 36 inches in a yard
580 / 36 = ?
16 yards = 576 inches if you get what I'm saying.
To determine if Cassie has enough yarn, we need to compare the units of measurement. Cassie needs 16 yards of yarn, and she currently has 580 inches of yarn.
To make a fair comparison, we need to convert the units to be in the same system. Since we are given the yarn amount in inches, we need to convert it to yards.
There are 36 inches in a yard, so we can set up a conversion equation:
1 yard = 36 inches
Now, let's convert 580 inches to yards:
580 inches * (1 yard / 36 inches) = 16.11 yards
Rounding to two decimal places, Cassie has approximately 16.11 yards of yarn. Since she needs 16 yards, she has enough yarn to complete her project.
