Erin makes a paper chain. Each loop of the paper chain is about 3 inches long. Erin puts 8 loops of paper together. About how long will the paper chain be in feet? Explain.

For eight loop, multiply it by 3 to get the whole length of loop
8 x 3 = 24 inches
Since 12 inches is equivalent to 1 feet, convert that
24 inches * (1 feet / 12 inches) = 2 feet
