Nick needs 65 yards of wire for a project. if the wire is only sold on spools which hold 6 feet of wire, how many spools will he need ?

Step-by-step explanation:

I would first convert the spools into the yard equivalent so 6 ft spools are equal to 2 yard spools now you take 65 divided by 2 which would give you the answer and the answer is 32.5 unless they refuse to sell a partial spool then you would by 33 spools of wire and you would have enough yards of wire with one yard left over

step-by-step explanation:

from this example, we can see that subtracting with integers is the same as adding the opposite. we can solve using a number line or by using the saying "keep, change, change" to us solve. it is important to remember that we can subtract a negative and end up with a larger number than we started with.
