Question

Mrs. Oliver has a stick that is 5 feet 8 inches. How many inches long is the stick?

Answer 1

68 inches.

Explanation:

So we know that 1 feet equals to 12 inches.

We just need to multiply 12 by 5 and then plus 8. Which will give us 68.

To do this, we must first put the 8 aside.

Then we multiply, 12x5=60, then we bring back the 8 in.

60+8=68.

So the answer is 68 inches

Answer 2

Answer: 68

Explanation:

if there are 12 inches in a foot and there are 5 feet then that multiplies to 60 inches, simply add the extra 8 and you get 68
