2. How many 20 cm labels can you make out of 3 yards?
First, we need to convert 3 yards to centimeters.
We know:
1 yard = 3 feet
1 foot = 12 inches
1 inch = 2.54 centimeters
Starting with 3 yards:
3
yards
=
3
×
3
=
9
feet
3 yards=3×3=9 feet
9
feet
=
9
×
12
=
108
inches
9 feet=9×12=108 inches
108
inches
=
108
×
2.54
=
274.32
centimeters
108 inches=108×2.54=274.32 centimeters
Now, let's see how many 20 cm labels can be made out of 274.32 cm.
number of labels
=
274.32
cm
20
cm/label
number of labels=
20 cm/label
274.32 cm
number of labels
=
13.716
number of labels=13.716
You can make 13 full 20 cm labels, with a remainder of 14.32 cm left over.
So, the answers are:
68
,
038.8555
68,038.8555 grams
13 labels.
