Answer:
138 total feet!
Explanation:
Hi there! I'm glad I was able to help you!
You could possibly use a calculator to solve this question, but I'll write it out for you so that you can thoroughly understand the answer.
Per student, six feet of space stands in between each of them.
Our question, though, wants to figure out the amount of feet (or, blank space between each student,) there are in total.
In order to answer this for ourselves, all we have to do is multiply our number of students by the amount of space they are standing apart from one another.
[S] - Students
[F] - Feet
[T] - TOTAL feet
S × F = T
By filling in the variables, we now have our equation rewritten as shown:
23 × 6 = 138
Therefore, all of the students together are 138 feet apart from each other.
I hope this helped you! I find that breaking problems like these down are much easier to understand.
