Question

Paul is getting balloons for his uncle's birthday party. He wants each balloon string to be 6 feet long. At the party store, string is sold by the yard. If Paul wants to get 46 balloons, how many yards of string will he need

Answer 1

Paul needs 276 feet of string for his uncle's birthday party.

Explanation:

From the problem we are given, we can simply break it down as follows:

Paul wants each balloon string to be 6 feet long.

Paul also wants to get 46 balloons with each of them having 6-feet long strings attached to them.

This means that Paul will need 6 feet ling strings 46 times (that is for all the 46 balloons)

to solve this mathematically, we multiply 46 X 6 to get 276 feet.

Therefore, Paul needs 276 feet of string for his uncle's birthday party.
