Question

The Concrete Company pours 8 sections of sidewalk, each of which is 256 feet long. What is the length of the entire sidewalk that the Concrete Company pours?

Answer 1

Answer: 2048 ft

Explanation:

Given

The length of each sidewalk is
`L=256\ ft`

There are eight sections of the sidewalk

The total length of the sidewalk is
`L+L+\ldots 8\ \text{times}`

`\Rightarrow 8* L=8* 256\\\Rightarrow 2048\ ft`

Total length of the entire sidewalk is 2048 ft
