Question

Mariah is making bouquets of flowers to sell. She needs 15 inches of ribbon for each bouquet. How many yards of ribbon does she need to make 7 bouquets

Answer 1

She will need 105 in of ribbon because 15 times 7 equals 105.

Answer 2

1 yard = 36 inches

for 1 bouquet = 15 inches
for 7 bouquet = 15 × 7 = 105 inches


number of yards to be known = X
so..... 1 yard = 36 inches
X = 105 inches
now cross multiply..... 36 × X = 105 × 1
X = 105 / 36 = 2.92 yards
