Autumn has 6 ribbons for her hair. Each ribbon is 3 feet long. How many total inches of ribbon
does Autumn have?

Answer 1

Multiply the 6 ribbons by the 3 feet for each and you get 18 feet. Then take the 18 and multiply it by 12 since there is 12 inches in a foot, and you get 216 inches for your answer

Answer 2

she has a total of 216 inches of ribbon

Explanation:

1 foot is equal to 12 inches.

if she has 3 feet per ribbon, and each foot is 12 inches, then 3 × 12 would be 36, making each ribbon 36 inches.

But, she has 6 pieces of ribbon, so that's 36 inches 6 times. 6 × 36 is 216, so she has a total of 216 inches of ribbon.
