A)30 ft
B)50 ft
C)70 ft.
D)90 ft.

Answer 12

45 inches of white ribbon for each wreath.....and she needs 18 wreaths
so....45 x 18 = 810....she needs 810 inches of white ribbon. However, we need this in feet. There are 12 inches in 1 ft. So we divide 810 by 12.....810/12 = 67.5 ft.
Closest answer is 70 ft.
