Answered by Ms. Sue
Ahh! Thanks.

Divide 15 yards by 20 boxes.

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

Answered by Ms. Sue
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.
