Zorluk: KolayUS Customary Linear Measurements

A carpenter is preparing to install baseboards in a room. One specific section of the wall requires a continuous board that is exactly 22 yards and 22 feet long. What is the required length of this board in inches?

Cevap: 96 inches

Cevap

The required length of the board is 96 inches.
The correct total length is found by converting all measurements to the same unit. First, 2 yards is converted to 6 feet (2×3=62 \times 3 = 6). Adding the extra 2 feet gives a total of 8 feet. Finally, converting 8 feet to inches yields 96 inches (8×12=968 \times 12 = 96). Alternatively, you can convert both to inches directly: 2 yards = 72 inches, and 2 feet = 24 inches. Adding them together gives 72+24=9672 + 24 = 96 inches.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Convert the yards measurement to feet.
2 yards = 6 feet.
It is easier to add measurements of the same unit (feet) before finding the final total in inches.
2
Calculate the total length in feet.
6 feet + 2 feet = 8 feet.
This combines both parts of the given measurement into a single unit.
3
Convert the total feet into inches.
8 feet * 12 inches/foot = 96 inches.
The question specifically asks for the final answer in inches, and there are 12 inches in every foot.
