Answer:

448 ribbons

Explanation:

in order to find this, you need to convert the yards into inches. there are 36 inches is a yard (a yard is 3 feet and one foot is 12 inches ) so you would multiply 112 and 36 to find the total number of inches it woulde be. 112x36=4,032. Now that you know the total number of inches, divide it by 9 to find the total number of ribbions you can make.

4,032/9= 448

so you could make a total of 448 ribbons
