Question

Dante cute 4 1/3 feet of tape. How much is this in inches? Write your answer as a whole number or a mixed number in simplest form.Include the correct unit in your answer.

Answer 1

To solve this question, first, let's transform the mixed number in an improper fraction:

`4\text{ }(1)/(3)=4+(1)/(3)`

Using 3 as the common denominator:

`(4*3+1)/(3)=(12+1)/(3)=(13)/(3)`

Now, let's transform 13/3 feet into inches.

Knowing that:

1 feet = 12 inches

13/3 feet = 12*13/3 inches:

`\begin{gathered} 12*(13)/(3) \\ (156)/(3) \\ =52\text{ in} \end{gathered}`

Answer: 52 inches = 52 in.
