Question

How many 2-inch segments are there in 12 ft.?
O A. 6
O B.24
O C. 10
OD.7

Answer 1

72 segments

Explanation:

First we convert 2 inches to feet units:

We know that one foot equals 12 inches

Then we use this conversion factor as shown below.

`2\ in*(1\ ft)/(12\ in)=(1)/(6)\ ft`

To know how many
`(1)/(6)\ ft` segments there are in 12 ft, we must divide 12 ft ÷
`(1)/(6)}\ ft`

So:

`(12\ ft)/((1)/(6)\ ft)= 12*(6)/(1)=12*6=72\ segments`

In 12 ft there are 72 2-inch segments
