A .Lyza has a 9-inch board. She wants to measure the length of a small rug in feet. How can she do this? B. she finds that the 9-inch board fits 4 times along the rug length. How many inches is this ?______ how many feet?______
9×4=36in=3ft=1yd
9x4=36=3ft=1yard
How is everyone doing
9x4=36in and 3ft.
9 x 4 = 36 = 3 feet = 1 yard.
36 inches
3 feet
To convert the length of the small rug from inches to feet, A. Lyza can follow these steps:
A. To measure the length of the small rug in feet:
1. Determine the number of inches in a foot: There are 12 inches in a foot.
2. Divide the length of the rug in inches by the number of inches in a foot: Divide the 9-inch length of the rug by 12 inches per foot.
3. Simplify the measurement: The result of the division will give the length of the rug in feet.
B. To find out how many inches and feet the 9-inch board fits along the rug length:
1. Multiply the number of times the 9-inch board fits along the rug length, in this case, 4 times, by the length of the board: Multiply 4 by 9 inches.
2. The result will give the total inches covered by the 9-inch board along the rug length.
So, let's go through both calculations:
A. Conversion from inches to feet:
1. Number of inches in a foot: 12
2. Length of the rug in inches: 9
Divide 9 by 12: 9 ÷ 12 = 0.75 feet
The length of the rug is 0.75 feet.
B. Measurement in inches:
1. Number of times the 9-inch board fits: 4
Length of the board: 9 inches
Multiply 4 by 9: 4 × 9 = 36 inches
The 9-inch board covers 36 inches along the rug length.
To summarize the answers:
- The 9-inch board fits 4 times along the rug length, which is 36 inches or 3 feet.
- The length of the small rug is 0.75 feet.
