The cost of 18 yards of ribbon at $0.25 per foot is $13.50. The change from a twenty-dollar bill is $6.50.

To find the cost of 18 yards of ribbon at $0.25 per foot, we need to first convert yards to feet.

Since 1 yard is equal to 3 feet, we can multiply 18 yards by 3 to get the length in feet. 18 yards * 3 feet/yard = 54 feet.

Now, we can multiply the length in feet by the cost per foot: 54 feet * $0.25/foot = $13.50.

Therefore, the cost of 18 yards of ribbon is $13.50.

To find the change from a twenty-dollar bill, we subtract the cost of the ribbon from twenty dollars: $20.00 - $13.50 = $6.50.

Therefore, the change from a twenty-dollar bill is $6.50.
