Question

Mr Ali needs to build a swing for her daughter.He needs 9 feet of rope for each side of the swing and 6 more feet for the monkey bar. The hardware store sells rope by the yard. How many yards does he need?

Answer 1

Answer: 8 yards

Explanation:

Based on the information given, since Mr Ali needs 9 feet of rope for each side of the swing and 6 more feet for the monkey bar, the total feet needed will be:

= (9feet × 2) + 6 feet

= 18 feet + 6 feet.

= 24 feet

Since 1 yard = 3 feets

Therefore, the amount of yards in 24 feet will then be:

= 24/3

= 8 yards

Therefore, Mr Ali needs 8 yards of rope
