Perform the indicated operation and simplify the result if possible. 20 yd. 2 ft. + 12 yd. 2 ft.
Oh boy, we're doing some yard work, huh? Alright, let's get to it!
We have 20 yards 2 feet plus 12 yards 2 feet. Let's add the yards together first and then the feet.
20 yards + 12 yards = 32 yards
Now, let's add the feet.
2 feet + 2 feet = 4 feet
So the final result is 32 yards 4 feet. Ta-da!
To perform this operation, you need to add the yards and the feet separately.
First, add the yards:
20 yd. + 12 yd. = 32 yd.
Next, add the feet:
2 ft + 2 ft = 4 ft.
Finally, combine the yards and the feet:
32 yd. + 4 ft.
Since the units are different, we need to convert the feet to yards. There are 3 feet in 1 yard, so:
4 ft ÷ 3 = 1.33 yd (rounded to two decimal places).
Now add the converted feet to the yards:
32 yd. + 1.33 yd.
Rounded to the nearest hundredth, the result is:
33.33 yd.
To perform the operation, you need to add the two measurements together.
First, let's convert both measurements to the same unit. Since they are both given in yards and feet, we can convert them to just yards.
20 yards 2 feet can be converted to yards by adding the equivalent of 2 feet in yards. Since there are 3 feet in a yard, we have:
20 yards + (2 feet / 3 feet per yard) = 20 yards + (2/3) yards
Similarly, for 12 yards 2 feet:
12 yards + (2 feet / 3 feet per yard) = 12 yards + (2/3) yards
Now we can add the two measurements together:
(20 yards + (2/3) yards) + (12 yards + (2/3) yards)
This simplifies to:
20 yards + 12 yards + (2/3) yards + (2/3) yards
Now we add the yard values together:
20 yards + 12 yards = 32 yards
And add the fraction values together:
(2/3) yards + (2/3) yards = (4/3) yards
So the final answer is:
32 yards + (4/3) yards
To simplify this, we can convert the fraction to a mixed number:
(4/3) yards = 1 yard and (1/3) yards
So the simplified result is:
32 yards + 1 yard + (1/3) yards
Now we add the yard values together:
32 yards + 1 yard = 33 yards
And add the fraction value:
33 yards + (1/3) yards
Since we cannot add fractions and yards directly, we need to convert (1/3) yards to a fraction with the same denominator:
33 yards + (1/3) yards = (99/3) yards + (1/3) yards
Now we can add the fractions:
(99/3) yards + (1/3) yards = (100/3) yards
So the final simplified result is:
(100/3) yards
or
33 and 1/3 yards
20 yd. 2 ft. + 12 yd. 2 ft. = 32 yd., 4 ft. = 33 yd., 1 ft.
1 yd = 3 ft
