Answer 1

Explanation:

Since each washing machine needs 16 inches of tubing we are going to multiply 16 by 18, the amount of laundry sources he wants to install. The answer to the multiplication problem is 288. Next we have to divide 288 by 36 since 36 inches are in a yard. The final answer is 8 yards. I hope this helped you out!

Answer 2

Since there are 36 inches in a yard, multiply 16 by 18 and divide that answer by 36

18*16=288
288/36=8
He needs 8 yards of tubing
