Three freinds each have some ribbon. carol has 42 inches of ribbon, tino has 2.5 feet of ribbon, and baxter has 1.5 yards of ribbon. express the total length of ribbon the three freinds have in inches, feet and yards. explain how you solved it

Hi there! 3 feet = 1 yard, 12 inches = 1 foot and 36 inches = 1 yard. All we have to do is change them up into different units by doing a bit of multiplication, division, maybe mental math, and even proportions if you know how to do them. Regardless on what you do, if you do it correctly, here are what your answers should be for each unit.

Inches

Carol: 42 inches
Tino: 30 inches
Baxter: 54 inches

Feet:

Carol: 3.5 feet
Tino: 2.5 feet
Baxter: 4.5 feet

Yards:

Carol: 1 1/6 yards
Tino: 5/6 yards
Baxter: 1 1/2 yards
