Answer:

The correct option is B.

Explanation:

We have to use the following conversions:

1 yard = 3 feet

1 feet = 12 inches

The given measurements are 3 yards, 2 feet, 2 inches 2 yards, 2 feet, 6 inches.

3 yards + 2 feet + 2 inches + 2 yards + 2 feet + 6 inches

Combine the measurements having same units.

(3 yards + 2 yards) + (2 feet +2 feet) + (2 inches + 6 inches)

5 yards + 4 feet + 8 inches

5 yards + (3 feet + 1 feet) + 8 inches

5 yards + 1 yard + 1 feet + 8 inches (1 yard = 3 feet)

6 yard + 1 feet + 8 inches

The sum of the two lengths having the following measurements is 6 yards, 1 foot, 8 inches.

Therefore the correct option is B.
