Question

Allyson has 4.5 pieces of rope to use for a tire swing. If each full piece is 2 2/3 feet long, how much rope does Allyson have in all?

Answer 1

12 feet

Explanation:

4.5 pieces of rope = 9/2 pieces in fractions

Also, 2 2/3 can be rewritten as 8/3 in fractions

So, 9/2 *8/3 = 72/6 = 12 feet

Allyson has 12 feet of rope in all.
