First we need to find how many inches in total to wrap 4 boxes. We do that by multiplying 18 x 4 = 72 so Jena needs 72 inches. The question wants to know how many yards so we need to convert 72 inches into yards. We can convert inches to yards by using a conversion factor. We know that 1 inch = 0.0277778 yd.
