Answer 6

You are told that you require `45 in.` of white ribbon to make one wreath. Now you want to know how much in `FEET` to make 18 wreaths....So you would first multiply `45 in by 18`....

\(\huge{45 \times 18 = ?}\)

What did you find as your answer?

Answer 11

i dont have 1

Answer 12

Simplify `45 x 18`.

Answer 13

810?

Answer 14

Correct :)

Now we have the `TOTAL INCHES` but we need to find the `TOTAL FEET` So we would divide that by how many inches are in a foot so that would be 12 inches.... So we would divide 810 by 12....

\(\huge{\frac{810}{12}=?}\)

Answer 15

24x18 = 432 gold in total
45x18 = 810 white in total

12 inches = 1 foot

432/12 = 36 feet gold
810/12 = 67.5 feet white - round up to 70 (C).

(The question says "about", so it allows for a little flexibility in range.)
