Answer 2

Answer: c) 56 yards

Explanation:

Given : 50 yards of tape is needed to pack and ship 100 packages .

You have a roll of tape that is 2000 inches long.

We know that 1 yard = 36 inches

[∵ 1 yard =3 feet and 1 feet = 12 inches ⇒ 1 yard=3×12=36 inches]

Now, 1 inch=
`(1)/(36)\text{yard}`

Then,
`\text{2000 inch=}2000*(1)/(36)=55.5555555556\approx56\text{yard}`

Hence, you have about 56 yards.

Hence, option c is the correct answer.
