Question

A toddler crawled 2 yards, stopped, then continued to crawl 8 more feet. How many feet did he travel in total?

Answer 1

14 feet

Explanation:

Let F = number of feet the child traveled in total

Convert the yards to feet by applying the rule of three,

1 yard ---------------- 3 feet

2 yards -------------- X

`X=(2 yards*3 feet)/(1 yard)=6feet`

Hence,

2 yards = 6 feet

Now add the additional 8 feet you crawled

F = 6 feet + 8 feet

F = 14 feet

Therefore, the child traveled 14 feet in total.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

he traveled 14 feet. 1 yard is equal to 3 feet. 2 yards are 6 feet. 8+6=14ft
