To find out how much ribbon Sandy bought in total, you need to add the two fractions: ( \frac{3}{4} ) yard of red ribbon and ( \frac{2}{3} ) yard of white ribbon. First, find a common denominator, which is 12. Converting the fractions, ( \frac{3}{4} ) becomes ( \frac{9}{12} ) and ( \frac{2}{3} ) becomes ( \frac{8}{12} ). Adding these gives ( \frac{9}{12} + \frac{8}{12} = \frac{17}{12} ), or 1 yard and ( \frac{5}{12} ) yard of ribbon in total.
1 yard cost 0.49 so the unit cost is 0.49 per yard. 3 yards cost 1.46 so the unit cost is 1.46/3 = 0.4866.. per yard So the second has the lower unit price.

To find the total yards of ribbon needed for 16 strips of 6 inches, first convert the inches to yards. There are 36 inches in a yard, so 6 inches is equal to 6/36, or 1/6 of a yard. For 16 strips, you would need 16 x (1/6) = 16/6 = 2.67 yards of ribbon. Therefore, you need approximately 2.67 yards of ribbon.
23 - 7 = 16 so Molly now has 16 inches of ribbon left.
First we need to figure out how far it is around the box. Since it is a hexagonal box, we have 6 sides. Each side is 4 inches long, so it is 6*4 = 24 inches around the box. Then, we need to figure out how many inches are in a yard. One yards is 3 feet, and 1 foot is 12 inches, so we have 3 (feet/yard) * 12 (inches/foot) = 36 inches. Since the box is 24 inches around, if she wraps the 36 inch (1 yard) ribbon around the box, she will have 36 - 24 = 12 inches left for the bow, but she needs 14, so no, it is not long enough.
