Leslie needs 324 inches of fringe to put around the edge of a tablecloth. The fringe comes in lengths of 10 yards. If Leslie buys 1 package of fringe, how many feet of fringe will she have left over?
I figured 1 yard is 3 feet
10 yards is 24 feet
10 feet is 120 inches
20 feet is 240 inches but then I got stuck

I think I have it figured out.
324 inches divided by 3 feet = 108
108 divided by 36 inches equals 3 feet
