Answer:
164 yards
Step-by-step explanation:
Each balloon string = 6 feet
Total balloons needed for the birthday = 82
how many yards of string will he need?
Total strings of balloon needed = Each balloon string × Total balloons needed for the birthday
= 6 feet × 82
= 492 feet
Total strings of balloon needed = 492 feet
1 yard : 3 feet
x yards : 492 feet
1 : 3 = x : 492
1/3 = x / 492
1 * 492 = 3 * x
492 = 3x
x = 492/3
= 164
x = 164 yards
492 feet = 164 yards
