Question

Keiko is getting balloons for her grandfather's birthday party. She wants each balloon string to be 12 feet long. At the party store, string is sold by the yard. If Keiko wants to get 46 balloons, how many yards of string will she need? 1 foot = 1 3 yard

Answer 1

Answer: 184 yards

Explanation:

Since she wants each balloon string to be 12 feet long and she wants to get 46 balloons, the total length of strings would be:

= 46 × 12 feet

= 552 feet

Since 1 yard = 3 feet. 552 feet would be converted to yard which would be:

= 552/3

= 184 yards
