Answer 1

48 inches = 1 1/3 yds or 4/3 yds Multiply this by $ 3.75 to get the total cost of $5.00

Answer 2

Answer: The cost for 48 inches of ribbon is $5.

Explanation:

Hi, to solve this problem we have to convert the 48 inches to yards.

Mathematically speaking:

• 1 yard = 36 inches

So:

• 48 / 36 = 4/3 yards

• 48 inches = 4/3 yards

Now that we have the value of the ribbon needed in yards, we can calculate the cost.

• $3.75 per yard

• $3.75 x 4/3 yards = $5

The cost for 48 inches of ribbon is $5.
