A machine can produce 27 inches of ribbon every 3 minutes. How many feet of ribbon can the machine produce in one hour? Explain.

First, you have to know how many times you can make 27 inches of ribbon in an hour by dividing 60 by 3. (60 minutes = 1 hour) You get 20, so you can make 27 inches of ribbon 20 times in an hour. Now multiply 20 x 27 to get 540, so you can make 540 inches of ribbon in an hour. To get feet, divide 540 by 12. (12 inches = 1 foot) So your answer will be 45 feet of ribbon.

The machine can produce 45 feet of ribbon in one hour. This is calculated by determining the number of 3-minute intervals in 60 minutes, multiplying that by 27 inches, and then converting inches to feet. The final total is 45 feet of ribbon.
