Question

If a piece of ribbon is 6 and 1 over 4. feet long, how long is it in inches?

Answer 1

The piece of ribbon would be 75 inches. The ribbon would be 75 inches because 1 foot would be 12 inches and you would multiply 12 by 6 to get 72. Then, 1/4 of a foot would be 3 inches because you could divide 12 and 4(the denominator you are dealing with) to get 3. Then, add 72 + 3 to get 75. Hope this helps!
