Question

Nick needs 65 yards of wire for a project. if the wire is only sold on spools which hold 6 feet of wire, how many spools will he need ?

Answer 1

Explanation:

I would first convert the spools into the yard equivalent so 6 ft spools are equal to 2 yard spools now you take 65 divided by 2 which would give you the answer and the answer is 32.5 unless they refuse to sell a partial spool then you would by 33 spools of wire and you would have enough yards of wire with one yard left over
