Question

Question Number 30 You are the owner of a toy store and are preparing to make a donation to a local children's hospital. You must prepare 320 teddy bears to include in your donation. Your associate can prepare 8 teddy bears an hour and uses 34 yard of ribbon in doing so. She needs you to buy the ribbon, but the craft store only sells ribbon in feet. How many feet of ribbon are needed?

Answer 1

4080 ft

Explanation:

34 yards of ribbon are used to prepare 8 teddy bears. The yards of ribbon used to prepare 320 teddy bears are:

320 teddy bear × (34 yard/8 teddy bear) = 1360 yard

1 yard is equal to 3 feet. The feet corresponding to 1360 yards is:

1360 yard × (3 feet/1 yard) = 4080 feet
