Question

kate is having a party.She wants to tape paper streamer from the ceiling.Each red streamer is 6 feet long and each yellow streamer is 7 feet long.If katie hangs 10 red streamer and 7 yellow streamers,how many feet of paper streamers will she use altogether?

Answer 1

I believe it'll be 60x49

Answer 2

6r+7y=total feet is the equation you use. Then you plug in 10 for r and 7 for y to get:

6(10) + 7(7) = total feet

then you get

60+49= total feet

then

109=total feet
