An interior decorator needs border trim for a home she is wallpapering. She needs 45 feet of border trim for the living room, 51 feet of border trim for the bedroom, and 48 feet of border trim for the dining room. How many yards of border trim does she need?
She needs
yards of border trim.

Answer 1

She needs 48 yards of border trims

The first step is to determine the total sum of border trims needed in feet

45 feet + 51 feet + 48 feet = 144 feet

The next step is to convert feet to yards

1 foot = 0.333333 yards

144 x 0.333333 = 48 yards
