Final answer:
The correct answers for the yards of noodles in 6 cans and 20 cans of Nifty Noodle Soup are 64 yards and 213 1/3 yards respectively, and not any of the given answer choices.
Step-by-step explanation:
The Ramble Soup Company advertises that they put 32 feet of noodles in every can of their Nifty Noodle Soup. To find out how many yards of noodles there would be in multiple cans of soup, we need to convert feet to yards, knowing that 1 yard = 3 feet.
First, for 6 cans of soup:
- Multiply the number of cans by 32 to find the total feet of noodles in 6 cans: 6 cans × 32 feet/can = 192 feet.
- Convert feet to yards by dividing by 3: 192 feet ÷ 3 feet/yard = 64 yards.
However, the question asked for the answer as mixed numbers, so 64 yards is already in its simplest form and is a whole number, not a mixed number.
Second, for 20 cans of soup:
- Multiply the number of cans by 32 to find the total feet of noodles in 20 cans: 20 cans × 32 feet/can = 640 feet.
- Convert feet to yards by dividing by 3: 640 feet ÷ 3 feet/yard = 213 1/3 yards, which is the mixed number form.
The answers to how many yards of noodles there are in 6 cans and 20 cans of Nifty Noodle Soup are 64 yards and 213 1/3 yards, respectively. Neither of the given answer choices a, b, c, or d are correct.
