Step-by-step explanation:

Jack has 18 yards of fabric that he wants to cut into pieces that are each 1 foot long. How many one-foot long pieces can Jack create? Come up with two different strategies for solving. (1 yd = 3 ft)

Step 1

Convert yards to foot

1 yd = 3 ft

18 yards = x

Cross Multiply

x = 18 × 3 ft

= 54 ft

Step 2

He wants to cut into pieces that are each 1 foot long. How many one-foot long pieces can Jack create?

This is calculated as:

1 foot = 1 piece.

54 feet = x

x = 54 × 1 piece

x = 54 pieces
