Angelique Hicks · Answer 1

The correct answer is C.

If she needs 45 in of white ribbon for each wreath, then she will need close to 4 feet of ribbon for each wreath. This is because 12 in = 1 foot, and 45 divided by 12 is 3.75.

If she's going to be making 18 wreaths, then she will need 3.75 feet of white ribbon for every wreath:

3.75 x 18 = 67.5.
