Lisa ordered 3 balls of yarn, for a total of 717.3 meters of yarn. How many meters of yarn did each ballon contain?

Answer 1

Answer:

239.1 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

So we know Lisa ordered 3 balls and that the total yarn length between the three balls is 717.3 meters.

To figure out the length of ONE ball of YARN we must divide the amount for 3 balls of yarn by 3

$\frac{717.3}{3}$ = 239.1 meters per yarn ball

Answer 2

Hey there!

You know that Lisa ordered 3 balls of yarn. In total, the 3 balls of yarn contain 717.3 meters worth of yarn. In order to find how much yarn each ball has, you must divide $717.3 / 3$

$717.3/3=239.1$

Each ball of yarn contains 239.1 meters worth of yarn

Hope this helps
