Full solution

Q. Test Prep\newline1111 Lamar has 8080 inches of ribbon to tie onto some balloons. He attaches 11 foot of ribbon to each balloon. How many balloons have ribbons?
  1. Convert to inches: First, convert feet to inches because Lamar's ribbon length is in inches and he uses 11 foot for each balloon. There are 1212 inches in 11 foot.
  2. Divide total by balloon length: Now, divide the total ribbon length by the length of ribbon used for each balloon. So, 8080 inches divided by 1212 inches per balloon.
  3. Perform division: Perform the division: 80÷12=680 \div 12 = 6 with a remainder. Since we can't have a fraction of a balloon, we'll only count whole balloons.
  4. Calculate total balloons: So, Lamar can tie ribbons on 66 balloons with the 8080 inches of ribbon he has.
