Answer:

30 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there are 3 feet in a yard and 36 inches in a foot...

to find out the inches in a spool multiply inches (36) to spool (50)

doing inches since students also receive string in inches

36 * 50 = 1800

to find the total amount given to students multiply inches (30) by students (24)

30 * 24 = 720

subtract both values (1800 and 720) to get inches left on the spool

1800 - 720 = 1080 inches

since there is 36 inches in a foot, divide by 36

1080/36 = 90 feet

divide feet by three (3) to convert to yards, since there is three (3) feet in one (1) yard

your answer is 30 yards

also writable as 90 feet or 1080 inches.

hope this helps:)

Answer: 1,080 (in) or 30 yards

Explanation:

1. Convert yards to inches (1800 inches)

2. Multiply the amount of string each person will get by how many people there are (24 x 30= 720)

3. Subtract the total amount of string by the amount of string that will be used. (1800 - 720 = 1080)

Therefore the answer is 1080 (in) or 30 yards

Hope this helps!
