Answer:
<em>He will need 51 yards, 1 foot and 8 inches twine to wrap 29 cartons. </em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Muhammad uses 1 yard, 2 feet and 4 inches of twine to wrap each carton he packs.
<u>We know that, 1 yard = 36 inches and 1 foot = 12 inches</u>.
So, 1 yard, 2 feet and 4 inches inches.
That means, he uses 64 inches of twine to wrap each carton.
He has to pack 29 cartons today. So, <u>the total length of the twine he will need</u> inches.
Now....
1856 inches
Thus, he will need 51 yards, 1 foot and 8 inches twine to wrap 29 cartons.
