You are making costumes for the school play. Each costume needs a piece of ribbon that is 5/8 yard long. how many yards of ribbon are needed for 24 costumes?

24=number of costumes
5/8= yards or ribbon per costume
24*5/8=15
15 yards of ribbon is needed for 24 costumes and for each costume to have 5/8 yards of ribbon
