I would convert the 5 ft 8 in to inches all together, so that would be 68 in. Then, multiply that by 32. You would get 2,176 in and convert it into ft. ( 1ft = 12in ) I believe that is 181ft 4in.
We have been given that Ms. Gutierrez needs to order rope for her gym class of 32 students. Each student will receive a piece of rope that is 5 feet 8 inches long.
1 feet = 12 inches,
5 feet = 5*12 inches = 60 inches.
To find the length of rope needed for 32 students, we will multiply 32 by length of each rope.
Now, we will convert 2176 inches to feet by dividing 2176 by 12 as:
Therefore, total length of rope Ms. Gutierrez needs to order for her class would be 181 feet and 4 inches.
