Neil is making colorful friendship bracelets for 6 of his friends. He has all of the colors of
thread he plans to use except for green. If every bracelet uses 22 inches of each color of
thread, how many feet of green thread should Neil buy from the craft store?

Respuesta :

Answer: He should buy 11 feet of green thread.

Explanation: if every bracelet uses 22 inches of each color of thread and Neil wants to make 6 bracelets we can multiple 22 * 6= 132inches
There is 12 inches in one feet so we divide
132/12= 11 feet
11 feet: 6 (friends) x 22 (inches) = 132 (inches)
To convert to feet: 132(inches) / 12 (inches=1foot) = 11 feet
