See a solution process below:

Explanation:

The conversion factor for yards to feet is:

#1" yard " = 3" feet"#

To find the number of feet in 12 yards multiply each side of the equation by #color(red)(12)#

#color(red)(12) xx 1" yard " = color(red)(12) xx 3" feet"#

#12" yards " = 36" feet"#

Because each banner is 1 foot Marita would be able to make 36 banners
