Jeremy uses 18 inches for twine for each box he packs for shipping. How many yards of twine does he need to wrap 5 boxes?

Jeremy would need 2 1/2 yards of twine to wrap two box's because 18 inches is equal to 1/2 yard. 1/2*4 = 2. Since you have 18 inches leftover or 1/2 of a yard you just add it. I hope this helps!
