  1. 28    
  2. 42    
  3. 48    
  4. 36    

hintHint:

1 yard =36 inches
Number of presents=fraction numerator T o t a l space l e n g t h space o f space t h e space r i b b o n over denominator L e n g t h space r e q u i r e d space t o space w r a p space e a c h space g i f t end fraction

The correct answer is: 48


    1 yard=36 inches
    8 yards = 8 × 36 inches
    = 288 inches
    6 inches of ribbons are needed to wrap each present
    So the number of presents that can be wrapped by 288 inches of ribbons are:288 over 6 presents
    = 48 presents

    Remember the conversion formula from yard to inches and understand how to find out the number of presents using the total length of the ribbon and the length of ribbon required to wrap each gift.
