The most important thing for you to know (or have actually) is the conversion table... then everything becomes easy.)
Here we go:
There are 3 feet in 1 yard. (Now that you know this, everythig else will fall into place)
Okay, first... 20 yards is equal to 60 feet (you have to convert something to something else first... sort of like 12 eggs is the same as a dozen eggs... it's saying the same thing but in a different way..)
so now that you know that you have 60feet of ribbon, how many packages can you cover, if each one takes 3 feet?
So take your 60feet of total ribbon and divide it up by the 3feet of what you need for each present= 20.
So you can wrap 20 presents, because 3feet times 20 presents will give you exactly 60 feet of ribbon, which is exactly 20 yards of that same ribbon.
This also means that if had 20 pieces of ribbon, and each one was 3 feet, and then add all of them together, you would have 60 feet together (going backwards)

20 x 3 = 60 (#of feet you have in ribon) 60 / 3 =20 so you can wrap 20 packages

20. That's because 1 yard=1 foot, and you have 20 yards (which is 60 feet).
