The sword maker in the cove ordered a special tape to wrap the sword handles with. He knew each sword would need 48 inches of tape. If he ordered 100 feet of tape, will he have enough tape to wrap 28 swords? How much will he have left over or how much more will he need?

a) If he ordered 100 feet of tape, will he have enough tape to wrap 28 swords?

No he would not

b) How much will he have left over or how much more will he need?

= He would have 144 inches left over.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sword maker in the cove ordered a special tape to wrap the sword handles with. He knew each sword would need 48 inches of tape. If he ordered 100 feet of tape, will he have enough tape to wrap 28 swords? How much will he have left over or how much more will he need?

From the above question, each sword would need 48 inches of tape

He would need to wrap 28 swords, hence:

1 swords = 48 inches

28 swords = x

x = 28 × 48 inches

= 1344 inches of tapes

Therefore to cover each sword he would need a total of 1344 inches of tape.

He ordered 100 feet of tape

We convert 100 feet to inches

1 foot = 12 inches

100 feet = x

x = 100 × 12 inches

x = 1200 inches

Hence, he ordered 1200 inches of tape.

a) If he ordered 100 feet of tape, will he have enough tape to wrap 28 swords?

100 feet = 1200 inches of tapes

To wrap 28 swords he would need 1344 inches of tape hence, he would not have enough tape to wrap 28 swords.

b) How much will he have left over or how much more will he need?

= 1344 inches - 1200 inches

= 144 inches

He would have 144 inches left over.
