4080 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

34 yards of ribbon are used to prepare 8 teddy bears. The yards of ribbon used to prepare 320 teddy bears are:

320 teddy bear * (34 yard/8 teddy bear) = 1360 yard

1 yard is equal to 3 feet. The feet corresponding to 1360 yards is:

1360 yard * (3 feet/1 yard) = 4080 feet
