Question

One spool contains ​ 4 2/3 ​ yards of twine. A second spool contains 11 feet of twine.

Answer 1

Answer: The correct answer is option (C); 25 feet

Step-by-step explanation: The standard of conversion between feet and yards is given as;

3 feet = 1 yard.

In other words, in every yard you will find times 3 feet. So in a spool of twine that contains four and two-thirds (4 2/3) yards of twine, conversion to feet would be given as;

X feet = (4 2/3) x 3

X feet = (14/3) x 3

X feet = 14

For the second spool the measurement is 11 feet of twine, so the total measurement would be derived as,

Spool 1 + Spool 2 = Total

14 + 11 = Total

25 = Total

Hence, the total measurement of twine would be 25 ft.
