1yd 2ft 7in plus 2yd 1 ft 8in
One approach would be to convert everything to inches first and then add the two values.
1,2,7 + 2,1,8 = 3,3,15 = 3,4,3 = 4,1,3
add, carry the 12, carry the 3
To add the measurements 1yd 2ft 7in and 2yd 1ft 8in, we need to convert them to a common unit of measurement.
First, let's convert the feet to yards. Since there are 3 feet in a yard, we divide the number of feet by 3.
For 1yd 2ft 7in:
2ft / 3 = 0.67yd
Next, let's convert the inches to feet. Since there are 12 inches in a foot, we divide the number of inches by 12.
7in / 12 = 0.58ft
Now, let's convert the second measurement, 2yd 1ft 8in, to yards.
For 2yd 1ft 8in:
1ft / 3 = 0.33yd
8in / 12 = 0.67ft
Now we have the following measurements in yards:
1yd 2ft 7in = 1yd + 0.67yd + 0.58ft = 2.25yd
2yd 1ft 8in = 2yd + 0.33yd + 0.67ft = 2.75yd
Finally, we can add the two measurements together:
2.25yd + 2.75yd = 5yd
Therefore, the sum of 1yd 2ft 7in and 2yd 1ft 8in is 5 yards.
