Question

Elsa knit a scarf for each of her 4 friends. altogether, the scarves had a total length of 27.6 ft . if each scarf was the same length, how long was each scarf? write your answer in inches.

Answer 1

To find the length of each scarf, divide the total length of all the scarves by the number of scarves. In this case, Elsa knit a scarf for each of her 4 friends, so we divide the total length of 27.6 ft by 4 to get the length of each scarf.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the length of each scarf, divide the total length of all the scarves by the number of scarves. In this case, Elsa knit a scarf for each of her 4 friends, so we divide the total length of 27.6 ft by 4 to get the length of each scarf.

27.6 ft ÷ 4 = 6.9 ft

To convert the length from feet to inches, we multiply by 12 (because there are 12 inches in a foot).

6.9 ft × 12 in/ft = 82.8 in

Each scarf is 82.8 inches long.
