Question

If you laid 16 bolts that each measure 7/8 inch end to end how many feet long would the row of bolts be

Answer 1

The answer is 1 1/6 feet....this is because to find the number of inches all 16 bolts would measure, you would do:

7/8 *16=14 in.

Then to find the number of feet, you would divide 14 by 12(number of in. in a ft), and you would get 1 1/6

Answer 2

7/8*16
16/1*7/8
112/8
14 inches; 14 inches = 7/6 ft or about 1.2 ft
