Question

Maris put trim around a mirror that is the shape of a square. Each side is 24 inches long. Maria has 1 foot of trim left. What was the length of the trim when she started? Write your answer in yards

Answer 1

16.028 yards

Explanation:

1 inch=0.0833333 foot

24 inches=0.0833333×24

=1.9999992 foot

The mirror is square shaped and each side is 24 inches

If each 24 inches=1.9999992 foot

Then,

4 sides of 24 inches=1.9999992×24

=47.9999808 foot

Maria has 1 foot of trim left

Total Length of trim when she started=47.9999808+0.0833333

=48.0833141 foot

=16.02777136667 yards

Approximately,

16.028 yards
