Question

Jenna uses 18 inches of ribbion for each box she wraps how many yards of rib ion does she need to wrap 4 boxes

Answer 1

Hello Myeisha91! 

First we need to find how many inches in total to wrap 4 boxes. We do that by multiplying 18 x 4 = 72 so Jena needs 72 inches. The question wants to know how many yards so we need to convert 72 inches into yards. We can convert inches to yards by using a conversion factor. We know that 1 inch = 0.0277778 yd. Now that we know  1 inch = 0.0277778 yd, lets convert the 72 inches to yards.

We convert 72 in to yards by multiplying 72 in by $\frac{0.0277778\;yd}{1\; in}$
$72\;in\times\frac{0.0277778\; yd}{1\;in} = 2\; yd$
So Jenna will need 2 yards to wrap 4 boxes.
