He had a spool of ribbon that contains 25 feet of ribbon that contains 25 feet of ribbon. One meter is equivalent to approximately 3 feet. How many gifts of the same dimension can he wrap using the spool of ribbon

Answer 1

He can wrap 6 gifts using the spool of ribbon

Explanation:

Here, we want to know the number of gifts of the same dimension that Franklin can wrap using the spool of ribbon

Per gift 1.25m of ribbon is needed

Now in the spool, there is 25 feet of ribbon

1 m = 3 feet

x m = 25 feet

x = 25/3 meter

so the number of gifts of the same dimension he can wrap using the spool of ribbon will be;

25/3/1.25 = 25/3.75 = 6.67

Since he cannot wrap a gift fractionally, the number of gifts he can wrap is thus 6
