Question

How many 2-inch segments are there in 12 ft.? O A. 6 O B.24 O C. 10 OD.7

Answer 1

Answer:

72 segments

Step-by-step explanation:

First we convert 2 inches to feet units:

We know that one foot equals 12 inches

Then we use this conversion factor as shown below.

$2\ in*\frac{1\ ft}{12\ in}=\frac{1}{6}\ ft$

To know how many $\frac{1}{6}\ ft$  segments there are in 12 ft, we must divide 12 ft ÷ $\frac{1}{6}}\ ft$

So:

$\frac{12\ ft}{\frac{1}{6}\ ft}= 12*\frac{6}{1}=12*6=72\ segments$

In 12 ft there are 72 2-inch segments
