Question

Jack crawled 3 ft and Christine crawled 3⁄4 the distance Jack crawled. If you add the distance they each crawled together, what is the total distance the two children crawled. (Write the answer in inches.)

Answer 1

Christine crawled:
3 ft* (3/4)= 2.25 ft.

3 ft+ 2.25 ft= 5.25 ft

We already know that 1 ft= 12 in.

5.25 ft* (12in/ 1 ft)= 63 in.

The total distance the two children crawled together is 63 in~
