Question

1/3 of 2 feet=(?)inches

1/6 of 3 yards=(?)inches

​

Answer 1

Problem 1

1 ft = 12 inches

2 ft = 24 inches (multiply both sides by 2)

Multiply by 1/3 to get (1/3)*24 = 24/3 = 8

Answer: 8 inches

========================================

Problem 2

1 yard = 3 feet

3 yards = 9 feet (multiply both sides by 3)

1 ft = 12 inches

9 ft = 108 inches (multiply both sides by 9)

so overall, 3 yards = 108 inches

Multiply this by 1/6

(1/6)*(108 inches) = 108/6 = 18 inches

Answer: 18 inches

note: 18 inches = 12 inches + 6 inches = 1 ft, 6 inches = 1.5 ft
