The sum of 4 y yards and 2i inches equals
a. 6iy feet
b. (12y+1/6)feet
c. 12 1/6 feet
d. (12y+24i)feet
e. 12 1/6 iy feet
please answer and explain
To find the sum of 4y yards and 2i inches, we need to convert both measurements to the same unit.
There are 3 feet in 1 yard, so 4y yards is equal to 12y feet.
There are 12 inches in 1 foot, so 2i inches is equal to (2i/12) feet, or (i/6) feet.
Now we can add the two measurements together:
12y feet + (i/6) feet = (12y + i/6) feet
So the correct answer is b. (12y + 1/6) feet.
To find the sum of 4y yards and 2i inches, we need to convert the yards and inches into a unified unit, such as feet.
First, we convert the 4y yards into feet. Since 1 yard is equal to 3 feet, we multiply 4y by 3:
4y yards * 3 feet/yard = 12y feet
Next, we convert the 2i inches into feet. Since 1 foot is equal to 12 inches, we divide 2i by 12:
2i inches / 12 inches/foot = i/6 feet
Finally, we can add the two converted values:
12y feet + i/6 feet = 12y + i/6 feet
Therefore, the sum of 4y yards and 2i inches is (12y + i/6) feet.
So, the answer is b. (12y + 1/6) feet.
