Ian uses 4 feet of ribbon to wrap each package. How many packages can he wrap with 5.5 yards of ribbon?

first you want to turn yard into feet so 5.5 times 3 which makes 16.5 then divide by 4 and you get 4.125 but you can't do that so it would be 4 packages

With the 5.5 **yards **of ribbon Lan can wrap 4 packages.
What is unit conversion?
The same attribute is **expressed **using a unit conversion but in a different unit of measurement . For instance, time can be **expressed **in minutes rather than hours, and **distance **can be expressed in kilometers , feet, or any other measurement unit instead of miles .
Given ribbon **required **for a package = 4 feet
**total **ribbon Lan have = 5.5 yards
so 1 yard = 3 feet
5.5 **yard **= 3 x 5.5 feet
5.5 yard = 16.5 feet
4 **feet **for 1 package
16.5 feet for x package
x = 166.5/4
x = 4.125 (ignore the decimal digits for the complete number of packages)
x = 4 packages
Hence 4 **packages **are wrapped by the given ribbon.

Ian can wrap 4 packages using 5.5 yards of ribbon. First, we converted the yards to feet, yielding a total of 16.5 feet. Then, we found out that he needs 4 feet of ribbon for each package he wraps.
