marita orders 12 yards of material to make banners. If she needs 1 foot of fabric for each banner, how many banners can she make?
36 Baneres
1 yard = 3 feet
12 * 3 = ? banners
12•3=36
36 banners
I got 36
18
To find out how many banners Marita can make, we need to convert the given measurements to a common unit.
1 yard = 3 feet
So, 12 yards of material would be equal to 12 * 3 = 36 feet.
Now, if Marita needs 1 foot of fabric for each banner, the number of banners she can make would be equal to the total length of the material divided by the length of fabric needed for one banner.
Number of banners = Total length of material / Length of fabric needed for one banner
Number of banners = 36 feet / 1 foot = 36 banners
Therefore, Marita can make 36 banners with the 12 yards of material she ordered.
