Question

Joe has 4 yards. There 3 feet in one yard, and 12 inches in one foot. How many 6 inch pieces of wood can Joe get from his 4 yards

Answer 1

24

Explanation:

Ok, so Joe has 4 yards. And 3 feet is 1 yard and 1 foot is 12 inches. You want to find how many 6 inch pieces of wood Joe can get.

3 feet times 4 because there are 3 feet in yard.

Now you know there are 12 feet of wood.

So you now need to find how many inches.

To do that you times the 12 feet by the 12 inches to get 144 inches.

Then you divide the 144 by 6 because you want to know how many 6 inches there are.

There are 24, 6 inch pieces of wood.
