What does 5 yards 2 feet 3 inches plus 2 yards 2 feet 9 inches equal?
5 yards, 2 feet, 3 inches +
2 yards, 2 feet, 9 inches =
7 yards, 4 feet, 12 inches = 8 yards, 2 feet
To find the sum of the two measurements, we need to add up the yards, feet, and inches separately. Let's start with the yards:
5 yards + 2 yards = 7 yards
Next, let's add the feet:
2 feet + 2 feet = 4 feet
Lastly, let's add the inches:
3 inches + 9 inches = 12 inches
Now, we have 7 yards, 4 feet, and 12 inches. However, since there are 12 inches in a foot, we need to convert the excess inches to feet. We do this by dividing the 12 inches by 12:
12 inches รท 12 = 1 foot
Now, we can add the converted inches to the existing feet:
4 feet + 1 foot = 5 feet
Therefore, the final sum is 7 yards, 5 feet, and 0 inches.
