Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

126 inches = 10.5 feet = 3.5 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's first convert all the lengths to inches, then we can convert that first answer into feet and yards.

Carol has 42 inches of ribbon.

Tino has 2.5 feet of ribbon. Each foot has 12 inches, so we can say:

#2.5xx12=30 inches of ribbon.

Baxter has 1.5 yards of ribbon. Each yard has 3 feet and each foot has 12 inches:

1.5

All told, we have

42

+

30

+

54

=

126

inches of ribbon.

This means we have

126

=

10.5

feet of ribbon.

This means we have

10.5

=

3.5

yards of ribbon.
