Question

Jack is getting balloons for his uncle's birthday party. He wants each balloon string to be 6 feet long. At the party store, string is sold by the yard. If Jack wants to get 55 balloons, how many yards of string will he need? 1 foot = 1 3 yard

Answer 1

Answer:

110 yards of string

Step-by-step explanation:

Converting the feet of the string of 1 balloon to yard

1 foot = 1/3 yard

6 feet = x

x = 6 × 1/3 yard

x = 2 yard

Hence 1 balloon uses 2 yard of string

Since:

1 balloon = 2 yard of string

55 ballons = x

x = 55 × 2 yard of string

x = 110 yards of string

Hence, for 55 balloons he would need 110 yards of string.
