Question

Pedro is getting balloons for his grandmother's birthday party. He wants each balloon string to be 12 feet long. At the party store, string is sold by the yard. If Pedro wants to get 52 balloons, how many yards of string will he need? 1 foot = 1 3 yard

Answer 1

Total length of string required in yards
`8112` yards

Explanation:

The length of the string attached with each balloon is equal to
`12` feet

In the party total number of balloon used is equal to
`52` balloons

The total length of the string required

Length of string used in one balloon * total number of balloons

`= 12 * 52 = 624` feet

1 feet is equal to 13 yards

Total length of string required in yards
`13 * 624 = 8112` yards
