There are 12 inches in a foot. In September, Mrs.harris orders 32 feet of ribbon for the crafts club. In January, she orders 9 fewer feet. How many inches of ribbon does Mrs.harris order?

Answer:

276 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to convert 32 feet to inches.

The conversion factor is 12 inches to 1 foot.

Hence,

32 feet = 32 * 12 = 384 inches

In January, she orders 9 fewer feet. That is 32 - 9 = 23 feet

Let's convert this to inches:

23 * 12 = 276 inches

So, she orders 276 inches
