Answer: 306 inches or 25.5 feet or 8.5 yards.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: Carol has 90 inches of ribbon, Tino has 7.5 feet of ribbon, and Baxter has 3.5 yards of ribbon.
1 feet = 12 inches
length of ribbon Tino has = 12 x 7.5 = 90 inches
1 yard = 36 inches
length of ribbon Baxter has = 3.5 x 36 = 126 inches
Total ribbon they have = (length of ribbon Carol has) + (length of ribbon Tino has) + (length of ribbon Baxter has)
= (90+90+126) inches
= 306 inches
In feet , Total ribbon =
In yards, Total ribbon =
Hence, the total length of ribbon the three friends have is 306 inches or 25.5 feet or 8.5 yards.

Answer:
13 in by 51 in
Step-by-step explanation:
The area is the product of the dimensions, so is ...
663 = x(4x -1)
4x^2 -x -663 = 0 . . . . . . subtract 663 to put in standard form
Using the quadratic formula, we can find the solutions.
x = (-(-1) ±√((-1)^2 -4(4)(-663)))/(2(4))
x = (1 ± √10609)/8 = (1 ±103)/8
Only the positive solution is of any use in this problem, so ...
x = 104/8 = 13
4x-1 = 4(13)-1 = 51
The dimensions of the rectangle are 13 inches by 51 inches.
