Answer 2

Answer:

Hence, Number of brackets which could be made by using 5 yards or 180 inches of ribbon = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

1 yard = 36 inches

5 yard = 5 × 36 = 180 inches

18 inches ribbon is required to make 1 bracket

⇒ 1 inches ribbon is required to make 1/18 bracket

So, number of brackets made by using 180 inches of ribbon = 1/18 × 180 = 10

Hence, Number of brackets which could be made by using 5 yards or 180 inches of ribbon = 10
