Question

Marcus has three dowels with the lens shown in the table complete the table to give each length in inches feet and yards

Answer 1

Remember there are 3ft in a yard and 12in. in a foot.

To convert 5.5ft to yd, divide by 3.

To convert 2.5yd to ft, multiply by 3 to get 7.5ft.

To convert 7.5 ft to in, multiply by 12.

Just remember when converting to a larger quantity (yards, for example) to a small (feet, for example), you multiply, and from smaller quantity to larger, divide.
