Textbook Question
Chapter 11.4, Problem 2P
A class needs 27 pieces of ribbon, each piece 2 feet, 3 inches long. How many yards of ribbon does the class need?
- Use multiplication or division or both to solve the ribbon problem. Explain why your method of solution makes sense in a way that children could understand. Do not use dimensional analysis.
- Describe a number of different correct ways to write the answer to the ribbon problem. Explain briefly why these different ways of writing the answer mean the same thing
