Question

Alissa cut a piece of string that was 17 feet long. Darnell cut a piece of string that was 5 yards long. If Alissa wanted the string to be the same length then him much would she cut of ?

Answer 1

2 feet.

Explanation:

Since 5 yards equal to 15ft, you do have to chop off 2 feet from the string Alissa has because 17-15=2.
