Question

Marita orders 12 yards of material to make banners. If she needs 1 foot of fabric for each banner, how many banners can she make?

Answer 1

Well 3 feet=1 yard
so the conversion factor is 3ft/1yd

so 12 yards converted to feet is
12yd times 3ft/1yd
the yd will cancel and you will be left with 36 feet

each banner is 1 foot so 36/1=36
she can make 36 banners
