Answer:

$33

Explanation:

Given:

Mimi needs eleven 18-inch pieces of rhinestone ribbon.

She purchased 5 yards of the ribbon.

Mimi purchases the additional ribbon she needs.

Data: $6 per yard, $55 for the whole spool, the whole spool is 10 yards.

Question asked:

What will be the total cost of all the ribbon?

Solution:

As Mimi needs eleven 18-inch pieces of rhinestone ribbon:-

Mimi needs total inches of ribbon = 18 inches
* 11 = 198 inches

Now convert it into yard:

36 inches = 1 yard

1 inch =
(1)/(36)\ yard

198 inches =
(1)/(36)*198=5.5\ yard

Cost of 1 yard = $6

Cost of 5.5 yard = $6
* 5.5 = $33

Thus, total cost of all the ribbon is $33.
