there is 12 inches in a foot.  1/3 of a foot would be 4 inches

take 9 x 12 (Inches in a foot) = 108 and divide by four

the answer is 27.  so he can get 27 ribbons out of 9 ft. of ribbon

Answer with explanation:

Total Length of Ribbon = 9 feet

Length of Ribbon used to make bookmark [tex]=\frac{1}{3}[/tex]foot

Total number of ribbons Jim can make from 9 feet of ribbon

   [tex]=\frac{\text{Total Length of Ribbon}}{\text{Length of ribbon used to make bookmark}}\\\\=\frac{9}{\frac{1}{3}}\\\\=9 \times 3=27[/tex]

=27 Ribbons
