Question

Abigail and her mom want to make matching pairs of polka-dotted pajama pants. So, they go to the craft store to pick out fabric. Abigail needs 4 feet of fabric for her pajamas, and her mom needs 6 feet of fabric. But, the store only sells fabric by the yard. If they buy 4 yards of fabric, how many feet will be leftover?

Answer 1

Answer: 2 feet

Explanation: A yard is 3 feet.
4 feet for Abigail and 6 for her mother makes 10 feet in total.
4 yards x 3 (to convert to feet, every yard is 3 feet, so you multiply) equals 12 feet.
12 - 10 is 2.
