Question

Mrs. Lang told her class that the class’s pet hamster is 1/4 ft in length. How long is the hamster in inches?

Answer 1

Answer:

The class’s pet hamster is 3 inches long

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

$1\ ft=12\ in$

To convert inches to feet divide by 12

To convert feet to inches multiply by 12

we have that the class’s pet hamster is 1/4 ft in length

we need to convert feet to inches

so

Multiply by 12

$\frac{1}{4}\ ft= \frac{1}{4}(12)=3\ in$

therefore

The class’s pet hamster is 3 inches long
