Martha has 9 feet of red ribbon and 6 feet of green ribbon. How many yards of ribbon does she have altogether?Martha has _____ yards of ribbon.The solution is ______

Respuesta :

Since we want the total amount, we first can add the red and green ribbon:

[tex]9+6=15[/tex]

Martha has 15 feet of ribbon.

To converto to yards, we can just divide the amount in feet by 3. So, in yards:

[tex]\frac{15}{3}=5[/tex]

So

Martha has 5 yards of ribbon.
