Question

A parking space is 20 feet long. A pickup truck is 6 yards long. How many inches longer is the parking space than the truck

Answer 1

1 yard = 3 feet.

Multiply the length of the truck by 3 to get total feet:

6 x 3 = 18 feet.

Subtract the length of the truck from the length of the parking space:

20 - 18 = 2 feet

1 foot = 12 inches.

Multiply 2 feet by 12:

2 x 12 = 24 inches longer.
