Question

What is 2 feet and 5 inches multiplied by 3

Answer 1

87 inches

or

6 feet and 3 inches

1 foot is equal to 12 inches, 2 foot is equal to 24 inches, and add that to 3, 29*3 =87

Answer 2

6 feet 3 inches

Explanation:

There are only 12 inches in one foot, so you have to be careful. I usually do the distribution method for these. I multiply the inches, and in this case it is 5×3

That is 15. That's three inches over a foot. So I add one foot to the 2 feet by 3, which is 6. So your answer is 6 feet 3 inches.
