Mia is building a thee sided shelter for her action figures. The shelter will resemble a rectangle with one of the long size removed she has boards that measure 36 inches 39 inches and 42 inches in length all the boards are the same width will need to convert some of these measurements into other imperial units to build a shelter the way she wants answer the following questions show your work
Question 1: Mia will use one of these boards for the length of the shelter she knows length of the shelter to measure 3.25 feet she will use a different board for the width of the shelter width of the shelter will be shorter than the length which board will use for the length of the shelter given that 1 foot equals 12 inches
To convert 3.25 feet into inches, we multiply by 12 since 1 foot equals 12 inches.
3.25 feet * 12 inches/foot = 39 inches
Therefore, Mia will use the board that measures 39 inches for the length of the shelter.
To convert the length of the shelter from 3.25 feet to inches:
3.25 feet * 12 inches/foot = 39 inches
So, Mia will need the board that measures 39 inches in length for the length of the shelter.
To find out which board Mia should use for the length of the shelter, we need to convert the length of the shelter from feet to inches.
Given that 1 foot equals 12 inches, we can convert 3.25 feet to inches by multiplying it by 12:
3.25 feet * 12 inches/foot = 39 inches
So, Mia needs a board that is 39 inches long for the length of her shelter.
Looking at the available board lengths of 36 inches, 39 inches, and 42 inches, we can see that the board she needs is the one that is 39 inches long.
