<h2>86 yards of string is required</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Juan wants each balloon string to be 6 feet long.

Number of balloons bought = 43

Length of string = 6 feet

Total length of string required = 43 x 6 = 258 feet

Given that

$1foot=\frac{1}{3}yard$

$\texttt{Total length of string required = }\frac{258}{3}=86yards$

86 yards of string is required
