Well 1 yard is 36 inches so 25 yards is 900 and then divide the 900 by 22 which equals 40.9090 but you have to put this down to 40 and because you have 3 ribbons it's 40 x 3 = 120!

Erika can cut a total of 122 pieces of ribbon that are 22 inches long from three pieces of ribbon, each 25 yards long. This is calculated by first converting yards to inches, finding the total length in inches, and then dividing by the length of each piece. Rounding down gives us the maximum number of whole pieces she can cut.
