Answer: 306 inches or 25.5 feet or 8.5 yards.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: Carol has 90 inches of ribbon, Tino has 7.5 feet of ribbon, and Baxter has 3.5 yards of ribbon.
1 feet = 12 inches
length of ribbon Tino has = 12 x 7.5 = 90 inches
1 yard = 36 inches
length of ribbon Baxter has = 3.5 x 36 = 126 inches
Total ribbon they have = (length of ribbon Carol has) + (length of ribbon Tino has) + (length of ribbon Baxter has)
= (90+90+126) inches
= 306 inches
In feet , Total ribbon = [tex]\dfrac{306}{12}\text{ feet}[/tex] [tex][\text{ 1 inch}=\dfrac{1}{12}\text{ feet}][/tex]
[tex]=\text{25.5 feet}[/tex]
In yards, Total ribbon =[tex]\dfrac{25.5}{3}\text{ yards}[/tex] [tex][\text{1 feet}=\dfrac{1}{3}\text{ yard}][/tex]
[tex]=\text{ 8.5 yards}[/tex]
Hence, the total length of ribbon the three friends have is 306 inches or 25.5 feet or 8.5 yards.
