Answer:
18
Step-by-step explanation:
So lets go voer what we know:
There are 6 pieces of ribbon.
Each piece of ribbon is 1 yard long.
We need 1/3 of each ribbon(1/3 yard).
To find this, lets take our 6 pieces of ribbbon, and break them into 3 seperate pieces.
This is because we need ribbons that are 1/3 of a yard. 3 ribbons would make up a single yard.
So:
The 6 yards of ribbon x 3 ribbons that make up 1 yard
6*3
=
18
I hope this makes more sense, and helps you understand better. I can try to explain in a different way if this still doesn't make sense.
I hope this helps! :)
