Answer: c) 56 yards
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : 50 yards of tape is needed to pack and ship 100 packages .
You have a roll of tape that is 2000 inches long.
We know that 1 yard = 36 inches
[∵ 1 yard =3 feet and 1 feet = 12 inches ⇒ 1 yard=3×12=36 inches]
Now, 1 inch=[tex]\dfrac{1}{36}\text{yard}[/tex]
Then, [tex]\text{2000 inch=}2000\times\dfrac{1}{36}=55.5555555556\approx56\text{yard}[/tex]
Hence, you have about 56 yards.
Hence, option c is the correct answer.
