how do I work this problem step by step?
3yd5ft + 6yd2ft
This is how I worked the problem
3 yd 5ft
+6 yd 2ft
9yd 7ft
To work this problem step by step, you need to add the yards and the feet separately. Here's a breakdown of the steps:
Step 1: Add the yards:
- Add the 3 yards to the 6 yards: 3 + 6 = 9 yards.
Step 2: Add the feet:
- Add the 5 feet to the 2 feet: 5 + 2 = 7 feet.
Step 3: Combine the yards and feet:
- Write the final answer in the format of yards and feet: 9 yards 7 feet.
So, the solution to the problem is 9 yards 7 feet.
You're right as far as you went.
Now we need to change 7 feet to 2 1/3 yards.
3yd5ft + 6yd2ft = 11 yards, 1 foot = 11 1/3 yards
