Problema Solution

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 a 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 provided by our tutors

(320/8)*34 = 1360 yd


1 yd = 3 ft


1360 yd = 1360*3 ft = 4,080 ft


4,080 ft of ribbon are needed.
