PLZZ HELP ASAP !!! HURRY !!!

Ruby is decorating for a party and needs 120 meters of ribbon. At the party supply store, the ribbon is sold in rolls. Each roll contains 25 feet of ribbon. How many rolls will Ruby need to purchase? (1 meter is approximately 39.37 inches)

A. 16 rolls

B. 14 rolls

C. 12 rolls

D. 10 rolls

Answer 1

A. 16 rolls

Explanation:

First, convert 120 meters to inches.

120 meters X 39.37 inches = 4724.4 inches

Then convert the 4724.4 inches into feet.

4724.4/12 = 393.7 feet

Therefore, she needs approximately 383.7 feet.

To get the number of rolls, divide 383.7 by 25 since each roll has 25 feet of ribbon.

383.7/25 = 15.748

15.748 can be rounded up to 16 rolls.
