Answer:

239.1 meters

Explanation:

So we know Lisa ordered 3 balls and that the total yarn length between the three balls is 717.3 meters.

To figure out the length of ONE ball of YARN we must divide the amount for 3 balls of yarn by 3


(717.3)/(3) = 239.1 meters per yarn ball

Hey there!

You know that Lisa ordered 3 balls of yarn. In total, the 3 balls of yarn contain 717.3 meters worth of yarn. In order to find how much yarn each ball has, you must divide
717.3 / 3


717.3/3=239.1

Each ball of yarn contains 239.1 meters worth of yarn

Hope this helps
