Anais bought 2 1/2 yards of ribbon. She had 1 foot 6 inches of ribbon left after trimming some curtains. How many inches of ribbon did Anais use to trim the curtains?

Respuesta :

2 1/2 yards = 7.5 ft
1 foot and 6 inches = 1.5 ft
7.5-1.5 = 6
6 ft = 72 inches
Anais used 72 inches of ribbon.
1.5 yards = 54 inches
1ft 6 inches  = 18 inches

54 inches + 18 inches = 72 inches

The answer is anais used 72 inches of ribbon.
