Sagot :

Well 1 yard is 36 inches so 25 yards is 900 and then divide the 900 by 22 which equals 40.9090 but you have to put this down to 40 and because you have 3 ribbons it's 40 x 3 = 120!

Answer: 120 pieces.


Step-by-step explanation:

We know that 1 yard = 36 inches

Given: The length of each piece of ribbon= 25 yards[tex]=25\times36=900\text{ inches}[/tex]

If she needs to cut 22 inches long pieces, then the total number of pieces cut from 1 ribbon[tex]=\frac{900}{22}=40.0909\approx40\text{ pieces}[/tex]

Thus, the total number of pieces she cut from 3 ribbons[tex]=3\times40=120\text{ pieces}[/tex]

Hence, the greatest number of 22-inch pieces that she can cut from the three ribbons =120
