Question

Jordie is getting balloons for his aunt's birthday party. He wants each balloon string to be 12 feet long. At the party store, string is sold by the yard. If Jordie wants to get 54 balloons, how many yards of string will he need?

Answer 1

216 yards

Explanation:

You'd multiply the amount of string for each balloon (12 feet) by the 54 balloons he needs, and you get 648 feet. There are 3 feet in a yard so then you would divide 648 by 3 and get 216 yards
