Answer 1

120 feet

Explanation:

Given

No.of green ribbon rolls used=4

No.of purple ribbon rolls used=8

Length of ribbon in one green roll=90 feet

Length of ribbon in one purple roll=60 feet

In order to find the difference in total green and purple ribbon used, we have to calculate the total length of the ribbons used.

Total length of green ribbon=Number of rolls*length of ribbon in one roll

=4*90

=360 feet

Total length of purple ribbon=number of rolls*length of ribbon in one roll

=8*60

=480 feet

The difference between the total length of green ribbon and purple ribbon=480-360

=120 feet ..
