Question 87611
Your first step is to figure out how many yards of ribbon (y) you have. 
y = 63 inches x 1 ft/12inches x 1yard/3ft
{{{y=63*(1/12)*(1/3)}}}
{{{y=1.75}}}
So now you know you have 1.75 yards of ribbon. To get the cost (c) of that, just multiply it by 12 cents:
{{{c=1.75*12}}} cents
{{{highlight(c=21)}}} cents
Good Luck,
