If the school club uses all of that rope, the amount of rope used so far is 167.75. If you subtract 167.75 from 300 you get <span>132.25.</span>

A school club needs 300 feet of rope for a project.

They have the amounts of rope listed below. 2 pieces of rope that each 16 yards in length. 1 piece of rope that is 12.5 yards in length. 1 piece of rope that is 123.25 feet in length.

We will need this conversion formula:

1 yard = 3 foot.

Now let us find dimensions of each part.

2 pieces of rope that each 16 yards in length = 2*16 =32 yards 32*3 = 96 feet.

1 piece of rope that is 12.5 yards in length or 37.5 feet.

1 piece of rope that is 123.25 feet in length.

Adding the three measures = 96 + 37.5 +123.25 = 256.75 feet.

Rope required = 300 - 256.75 = 43.25 feet.

Answer : The school club needs additional 43.25 feet of rope.
