Question

shanice is knitting a blanket that requires 1/3 mile of yarn. the fabric store sells yarn in sets of 340 feet.how many full sets of yarn does shanice need to buy in order to have enough yarn to knit the blanket

Answer 1

1 mile = 5280 ft.....so 1/3 of a mile is : 1/3 * 5280 = 5280/3 = 1760 ft

and the store sells yarn in sets of 340 ft...
1760/340 = 5.17.....so Shanice would need 6 full sets of yarn......she would actually need a little over 5 sets but since they dont sell half a set, u would round it up to 6 sets
