Question

Shannon needs 9 feet of ribbon for an art project. How many inches of ribbon should she buy if she is making 4 projects

Answer 1

432 inches

Each project is 9 feet, and she is making 4 projects, so multiply 9 by 4 to find the number of feet needed. You should get 36. Each foot is equal to 12 inches, so multiply 36 by 12 to get 432 inches.

Answer 2

Answer: 432 inches

Explanation:

Given : length of ribbon needed by Shannon for an art project = 9 feet

As we know : 1 feet = 12 inches

9 feet =$\frac{12}{1}\times 9=108inches$

Thus if for 1 project , length of ribbon required is = 108 inches

For 4 projects , length of ribbon required is =$\frac{108}{1}\times 4=432inches$

Thus 432 inches of ribbon should she buy if she is making 4 projects.
