Alex needs 20 inches of ribbon for each package he wraps. He has 13 packages to wrap. How much ribbon does he need? (Write your answer in feet and inches.)

Answer 1

Answer: 21 2/3 feet

Explanation:

20 x 13 = 260 inches of ribbon needed. There are 12 inches in 1 foot, so he will need 260/ 12 = 21 feet with 8 inches left over. The fraction would be 21 8/12 feet, which can be reduced to 21 2/3 feet
