Answer :
First you need to figure out how many yards of ribbon you are buying. To do that divide 11 by 3. That equals 3 2/3 yards. You divided it by 3 because there are 3 feet in 1 yard.
next you need to change 3 2/3 yards into an improper fraction. Multiply the whole number 3 by the denominator that ='s 9 and it to the numerator that ='s 11 so now you have the improper fraction 11/3 that represents the number of yards of ribbon you are buying. Then multiply $1.32 * 11/3 = $14.52/3 reduced = $4.84
Paid $4.84 for the ribbon
There are three feet of ribbon in a yard. So 11 feet is 3.66 yards. Then multiply the cost of a yard by the number of yards (1.32 times 3.66) and you get the answer: 4.83 dollars
