Question

Lupe is getting balloons for her grandfather's birthday party. She wants each balloon string to be 6 feet long. At the party store, string is sold by the yard. If Lupe wants to get 52 balloons, how many yards of string will she need?

Answer 1

Answer: 104 yards

Explanation:

First and foremost, we need.to know that: 1 yard = 3 feet

Since she wants each balloon string to be 6 feet long and she wants to get 52 balloons. The total feet that is required for the balloon would be:

= 52 × 6

= 312 feet

Then we convert 312 feet to yard. This would be:

= 312 feet / 3 feet

= 104 yards
