Mike
Why Mike i thought Danna was wrong.
1 yard = 3 feet
8 yards = 24 feet
But --
280 inches = 23 1/3 feet
I got it and see what your saying .there is 3 ft in 1 yard 3*8= 24ft
Yes. :-)
I just need help
To determine which friend might have measured incorrectly, we need to compare their measurements using consistent units. Let's convert Mike's, Liz's, and Danna's measurements to a common unit.
First, let's convert Liz's measurement from feet to inches since Mike measured in inches. Since there are 12 inches in 1 foot, to convert from feet to inches, we multiply by 12. So Liz's measurement in inches would be 24 ft * 12 in/ft = 288 inches.
Next, let's convert Danna's measurement from yards to inches. Since 1 yard is equal to 36 inches, to convert from yards to inches, we multiply by 36. So Danna's measurement in inches would be 8 yards * 36 in/yd = 288 inches.
Comparing the measurements, we see that both Liz and Danna measured the length of the sidewalk as 288 inches. However, Mike's measurement is different at 280 inches. Therefore, it is likely that Mike measured incorrectly compared to Liz and Danna.
