Answer:

7 yards 1 foot 1 inch

Explanation:

Adding both of them together, you get:

6 yards 3 feet 13 inches

Since 1 foot = 12 inches, and 13 inches exceeds that, add a foot to the previous 3 feet and subtract 12 from the 13 inches

Therefore: 6 yards 4 feet 1 inch

Since 1 yard = 3 feet, and 4 feet exceeds that, add a yard to the previous 6 yards and subtract 3 feet from the remaining 4 feet

Hence:

7 yards 1 foot 1 inch

Answer:

7 yds 1 ft 1 inch

Explanation:

Quick Solve!

Side #1:

  • 1 yard = 36 inches
  • 4 * 36 = 144 inches
  • 1 foot = 12 inches
  • 2 * 12 = 24 inches

144 inches + 24 inches + 7 inches = 175 inches

Side #2:

  • 2 yards = 2 * 36 = 72 inches
  • 1 foot = 12 inches + the 6 inches = 18 inches
  • 72 inches + 18 inches = 90 inches

72 inches + 18 inches = 90 inches + 6 inches = 96 inches

Conclusion:

175 inches + 96 inches = 271 inches

Answer:

⇒ 7 yds 1 ft 1 inch
