You're given the conversion formula of 1 yard = 3 feet and 1 foot = 12 inches so let's use that.
For red you're given three yards so because 1 yard = 3 feet, then you have 3 feet + 3 feet + 3 feet = 9 feet ( or 3ft * 3) Now, to get inches, you multiply 9 by 12 to get 108 inches. Since each bow requires 6 inches of ribbon you divide 108 by 6. - Number of red bows: 18 - Inches of ribbon: 108
Yellow Given: 54 inches to convert to feet, you divide by 12 : 54/12 = 4.5 and to find yards you divide by 3: 4.5/3 = 1.5 to find the number of bows you divide 54 by 6: 9 bows -Number of yellow bows: 9 -Yards of yellow ribbon: 1.5
Blue Given: 24 bows Because there's 6 inches for every bow 24*6 = 144 inches of ribbon Convert to yards: 144/12 = 12 feet / 3 ft = 4 yards -Inches of blue ribbon:144 -Yards of blue ribbon: 4
