Lucia has 18 pieces of ribbon that she uses to decorate presents. One ribbon's length is 5/6 of a yard. How many yards of ribbon does Lucia have?

15 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are given the information that Lucia has 18 pieces of ribbon that she uses to decorate presents and that the length of one ribbon is 5/6 of a yard.

Therefore, the number of yards of ribbon that Lucia has will be gotten by multiplying 5/6 by the total pieces of ribbon. This will be:

= 5/6 × 18

= 15 yards

45.3592

step-by-step explanation:

take the logarithm of both sides (the base of the log doesn't matter):

apply the exponent property - this says that :

distribute the log terms on both sides:

group like terms together:

divide through both sides by the coefficient on :

you can do some additional rewriting here using the properties of the logarithm to simplify things if you like:
