Question

Jamie uses exactly 18 inches of dental floss every time she flosses her teeth. The package of dental floss she just bought contains 27 yards. How many times can Jamie floss her teeth with the amount of floss in this package?

Answer 1

54 times

Explanation:

36 inches = 1 yard

Since there are 27 yards, you multiply 36 by 27 = 972

If you use 18 inches each time, you would divide 972 by 18.

972/18= 54

So, Jamie could flow her teeth 54 times.
