Question

Anais bought 4 1/2 yards of ribbon. She had 3 feet 8 inches of ribbon left after trimming some curtains. How many inches of ribbon did Anais use to trim the curtains?

Answer 1

She used 118 inches of ribbon.

Explanation:

Convert the yards to inches.

4.5 yards= 162 inches.

Convert feet to inches.

3 feet= 36 inches.

She has 44 inches of ribbon left.

Now you subtract.

162-44= 118
