Question

The Concrete Company pours 8 sections of sidewalk, each of which is 256 feet long. What is the length of the entire sidewalk that the Concrete Company pours?

Answer 1

Answer: 2048 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The length of each sidewalk is  $L=256\ ft$

There are eight sections of the sidewalk

The total length of the sidewalk is $L+L+\ldots 8\ \text{times}$

$\Rightarrow 8\times L=8\times 256\\\Rightarrow 2048\ ft$

Total length of the entire sidewalk is 2048 ft
