Question

Ana is bought 4 1/2 yards of ribbon. She had 3 feet 8 inches of ribbon left after trimming some curtains. How many inches of ribbon did anais use to trim the curtains?

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is 1,576 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all convert all numbers into inches.

1 yard =36 inches  

4.5 x 36 = 1,620 inches

Now convert foot into inches.

1 foot = 12 inches  

3 x 12 = 36 inches  

36 + 8 = 44 inches  

Now subtract 44 inches from 1,620 inches to get the inches used to trim curtains.  

1,620 inches - 44inches = 1,576 inches

Thus the number of inches used to trim the curtains are 1,576 inches.
