Question

Two children want to race around the city block. The length of the block is 80 yards. The width of the block is 60 yards.

Answer 1

If you would like to know which is the correct unit of measurement to use when figuring out how many yards each child would run in the race, you can calculate this using the following steps:

80 yards * 2 + 60 yards * 2 = 160 + 120 = 280 yards

The correct measurement would be A. yards.
