1 foot = 12 inches The 4 ribbons is 8 feet because each ribbon is 2 feet each You would multiply the 8 ft by 12 to convert the feet to inches 8 ft. x 12in = 96in. Then add the remaining ribbon 96 + 10= 106 inches of ribbon
You need to start out by converting all measurements to the same units, in this case, inches. You know there are 12 inches in a foot, so the ribbons that are 2 feet long are 24 inches. Then you can add everything or do a combination of adding and multiplying 10+24+24+24+24=106 inches of ribbon Or (4•24)+10= 96+10=106 inches of ribbon Same answer, just different ways to get it :)
