When you solve one of these types of word problems, using multiplication is the most efficient method. 
If each student makes one decoration, then we can use the expression 1118 to solve the problem. Or you could add eighteen elevens together, either method works.
1118 = 198.
Mrs. Gannon needs 198 pine cones.
Hope that helped you!
