9 inches of ribbon is needed for wrapping one present. How many presents can be wrapped with 8 yards of ribbon?

Answer 1

Answer: You can wrap 32 presents with 8 yards.

Explanation:

So, first, you need to know how many inches are in a yard. There are 36 inches in 1 yard.

Then, do 36 inches times 8 yards to figure out how many yards are in 8 yards. So in 8 yards, there are 288 inches.

Finally, do 288 divided by 9 to figure out how many present you can wrap with 8 yards (288 inches).

You can wrap 32 presents with 8 yards.

I hope this helped!
