Question

Mr. Fry is building a fence around his pool.

•Length of the fence is 60 feet.
•Width of the fence is 30 feet.

How many yards of fence will Mr. Fry build?

Answer 1

The fence around his pool will be 30 yards long

Answer 2

30 yards of fence

Explanation:

First, convert 60 feet to yards and 30 feet to yards. Remember, 1 foot= 3 yards.

60/3= 20 yards

30/3= 10 yards

Then you add the length and the width of the fence (in yards) to find the total yards of fence.

20+ 10= 30 yards of fence
