Question

Ms. gutierrez needs to order rope for her gym class of 32 students. each student will receive a piece of rope that is 5 feet 8 inches long. what is the total length of rope ms. gutierrez needs to order for her class?

Answer 1

I would convert the 5 ft 8 in to inches all together, so that would be 68 in. Then, multiply that by 32. You would get 2,176 in and convert it into ft. ( 1ft = 12in ) I believe that is 181ft 4in.

Answer 2

181 feet and 4 inches.

Explanation:

We have been given that Ms. Gutierrez needs to order rope for her gym class of 32 students. Each student will receive a piece of rope that is 5 feet 8 inches long.

1 feet = 12 inches,

5 feet = 5*12 inches = 60 inches.

To find the length of rope needed for 32 students, we will multiply 32 by length of each rope.

`\text{Length of rope needed for 32 students}=32* 68\text{ inches}`

`\text{Length of rope needed for 32 students}=2176\text{ inches}`

Now, we will convert 2176 inches to feet by dividing 2176 by 12 as:

`(2176)/(12)=181(4)/(12)\text{ feet}=181(1)/(3)\text{ feet}`

`(1)/(3)\text{ feet}=(1)/(3)* 12\text{ inches}=4 \text{ inches}`

Therefore, total length of rope Ms. Gutierrez needs to order for her class would be 181 feet and 4 inches.
