Question

Each railroad car in a train set is 6 inches in length.the railroad track is 5 feet long .how many railroad cars can fit on the track

Answer 1

Answer: 10 cars

Explanation:

We know that:

A railroad car is 6 inches long and the railroad track is 5 feet long

Start by converting feet to inches. You can do that by multplying the amount of feet by 12.

5 feet x 12 = 60 inches

Now we can divide the length of the railroad track by the length of the railroad cars to see how many we can fit.

60 ÷ 6 = 10
