Ty needs to cut strips of wrapping paper that are each 9 inches wide if Ty has two rolls of wrapping paper that are each 15 feet long how many 9 inch strips can he cut
1 foot = 12 inches
(12 * 30) / 9 = _______ pieces
To figure out how many 9-inch strips Ty can cut from the rolls of wrapping paper, we need to convert the length of the rolls from feet to inches.
First, let's convert the length of each roll from feet to inches. Since there are 12 inches in a foot, we can multiply the length of each roll by 12:
15 feet * 12 inches/foot = 180 inches
So, each roll of wrapping paper is 180 inches long.
Next, we need to divide the length of each roll by the width of each strip to find out how many strips Ty can cut from each roll:
180 inches / 9 inches/strip = 20 strips
Therefore, Ty can cut 20 strips from each roll.
Since Ty has two rolls of wrapping paper, we can multiply the number of strips Ty can cut from each roll by the number of rolls to get the total number of strips:
20 strips/roll * 2 rolls = 40 strips
So, Ty can cut 40 strips of wrapping paper that are each 9 inches wide from the two rolls of paper.
