Mary had 10 yards 2 feet of ribbon. She needed to cut pieces for her 3 friends. If each friend got the same about of ribbon, how much did each get? Inches cannot be more than 12. Convert all answers to yards, feet and inches.
To find out how much ribbon each friend will get, we first need to convert the given measurements into a more consistent format. Since 1 yard contains 3 feet, we can convert 10 yards into 30 feet. Hence, Mary initially has 30 feet + 2 feet = 32 feet of ribbon.
To make it easier to divide the ribbon equally, we will convert the feet into inches. Since 1 foot contains 12 inches, 32 feet = 32 * 12 = 384 inches.
Now, we can divide the total number of inches by the number of friends to find out how much each friend will get. Since there are 3 friends, we divide 384 inches by 3:
384 inches ÷ 3 friends = 128 inches per friend
Since we need to ensure that the measurement is not more than 12 inches, let's divide 128 inches by 12 to check:
128 inches ÷ 12 inches = 10 remainder 8
We can see that 128 inches is greater than 12 inches, so we need to adjust the measurement.
Since we can only have up to 12 inches for each friend, we will divide 128 inches by 4 to get the adjusted measurement:
128 inches ÷ 4 friends = 32 inches per friend
Therefore, each friend will receive 32 inches of ribbon.
