Question

You have 15 yards of ribbon for your gift boxes. each box gets the same amount of ribbon. How much ribbon will each box get

Answer 1

How many boxes do you have?

Answer 2

20

Answer 3

i think the answer is 5 feet

Answer 4

Ahh! Thanks.

Divide 15 yards by 20 boxes.

15 / 20 = 0.75 = 3/4 yard for each box.

Answer 5

1 yard = 3 feet = 36 inches

3/4 yard = (3/4) * 36 = 27 inches = 2 feet and 3 inches

Let's try your answer:

5 feet * 20 = 100 feet = 33.3 yards. Five feet is too much. You don't have that much ribbon.

Answer 6

what i ended up getting is 2.25 feet and 0.75 yards

Answer 7

That's right.

Answer 8

3/4 ribbon.
