Answer:
3750 yards
Step-by-step explanation:
To find out how many yards of tape there are in total, we need to first determine the total length of tape in feet and then convert it to yards.
Given:
- Length of one roll of tape = 30 feet
- Number of rolls of tape = 375
First, let's find the total length of tape in feet:
[tex] \textsf{Total length of tape in feet} = \textsf{Length of one roll of tape} \times \textsf{Number of rolls of tape} [/tex]
[tex] \textsf{Total length of tape in feet} = 30 \, \textsf{feet/roll} \times 375 \, \textsf{rolls} [/tex]
[tex] \textsf{Total length of tape in feet} = 11250 \, \textsf{feet} [/tex]
Now, to convert the total length of tape from feet to yards, we know that:
[tex] 1 \, \textsf{yard} = 3 \, \textsf{feet} [/tex]
So, to convert feet to yards, we divide by 3:
[tex] \textsf{Total length of tape in yards} = \dfrac{11250 \, \textsf{feet}}{3 \, \textsf{feet/yard}} [/tex]
[tex] \textsf{Total length of tape in yards} = 3750 \, \textsf{yards} [/tex]
Therefore, there are 3750 yards of tape in total.
