Answer:

60 pieces

Step-by-step explanation:

What we know:

There are 12 inches in a foot

There are 5 6-feet lengths of ribbon

So, we simply need to multiply.

Since there are 12 inches in a foot, and we only need 6 inches for each one, we can see that she makes 2 pieces for each foot.

Multiply

2*6=12

She makes 12 pieces for each length of ribbon.

Now multiply it by 5

12*5= 60

She can make 60 pieces from 5 of these length of ribbon.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

60 pieces

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 5 rolls of 6 feet long ribbon.

First lets find the total length:

5 rolls × 6 feet = 30 feet total

Then lets turn it into inches:

There are 12 inches in 1 foot so we can multiply our total feet by 12 to get the total in inches

30 × 12 = 360

30 feet = 360 inches

Dividing the ribbon:

360 inches of ribbon divided into 6 inch pieces -

360 ÷ 6 = 60

60 pieces of ribbon can be cut
