The fifth-grade teachers at Washington High School are decorating bulletin boards to get
ready for the new school year. They have 4 large bulletin boards that each need 9 yards of
border. There is also a small bulletin board that only needs 12 feet of border. If border is sold
in 40-foot rolls, how many rolls will the teachers use?


Sagot :

The teacher will use 3 rolls only to have perfect measurements.

1 yard = 3 feet

4 large bulletin boards are there each needing 9 yards of border.
That means 4 large bulletin boards in total need

9×4 yards of border

= 36 yards of border

= 108 feet of border

Also, there is a small bulletin board that only needs 12 feet border

Hence, in total there is a need for

108 + 12 = 120 feet border.

The border is sold in 40-foot rolls.
Hence, there is a need for 120/40 rolls

i.e. 3 rolls

Hence, the teacher will use 3 rolls only.
