Question

Jane needs two pieces of string for an art project. She has a ball of string that is 5 feet long. The first piece of string needs to be 32 1/2 inches long, and the second piece of string needs to be 27 3/8 inches long. Drag values and phrases to the correct place.

Answer 1

Jane needs a first piece of string that is 2 3/4 feet long and a second piece of string that is 2 1/4 feet long.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the length of the first piece of string, we need to convert the length given in inches to feet. Since there are 12 inches in 1 foot, we divide the given length of 32 1/2 inches by 12 to get the length in feet: 32 1/2 inches / 12 inches/feet = 2 3/4 feet.

To find the length of the second piece of string, we follow the same process. 27 3/8 inches divided by 12 inches/feet equals 2 1/4 feet.

Therefore, Jane needs a first piece of string that is 2 3/4 feet long and a second piece of string that is 2 1/4 feet long.
